I downloaded pc-shell from net.sources three times over the last few months until one actually worked. The good news is heavily tainted with bad. Specifically, pc-shell is written in a manner deleterious to ram resident programs, (PCDOS Print, PCMAG cache, parity interupt monitors, Borland Lightning, and probably Sidekick, Borbaki 1dir, probably XYwrite, probably SmartCom II, etc., etc., etc.) (the "probably" means that I did not fully test before I gave up and deleted pc-shell off my disk.) Use pc-shell if you must have UNIX (tm) type commands, and do not have the talent to *.bat reasonably emulations of them. (the history, and fgrep were *very* nice and definitely not *.bat material.) BUT forget compatibility with other memory resident programs. sorry.
