ECP-16 is a ProDOS 16 System program, program selector, controlling program,
and operating system shell.  This encompasses a lot of functions for this
one program but it is basically a replacement to the Apple supplied FINDER
for users who would rather control their ProDOS 16 environment via a command
line interface such as that familiar to users of ECP-8, CP/M, MS-DOS, or UNIX.
ECP-16 shares some features in common with APW (Apple Programmer's Workshop)
and with ORCA/M (ORCA/M for the Apple IIgs).  The product duplicates or
improves on many of the features found in APW/ORCA and adds other features
not found in the other shells.

ECP-16 doesn't replace APW/ORCA but can work well with either product.
