[net.unix] Unix tools on VMS

minow@decvax.UUCP (Martin Minow) (06/22/84)

Just to clarify something that my collegue Jym Dyer said in a
recent posting -- there are about two dozen "Unix tools" included
in the Decus C distribution (Decus 11-SP-18), including sort,
grep, and lex.

These were not ported from Unix, but were implemented from
scratch using Unix documentation and Bell Labs technical
memoranda as references.

I have had the pleasure of looking over / debugging both the
code that Mr. Minow has kindly submitted to the DECUS Program
Library and at utilities of the same name that run under UNIX.
I should add that the programming style in the DECUS utilities
is notably superior the the UNIX code of the same name.
