[net.micro.pc] UNIX-like shell stuff for IBM XT

john@sol1.UUCP (john) (02/03/85)

I have just purchased an IBM XT running Dos 3.0.
Although I'm pleasantly surprised by the Dos, having been
spoiled by UNIX, I find myself constantly wanting some of it's 
shell features and various programs. Things that immediately come to
mind are aliasing, shell variables, and being able to use a '/' instead
of a '\' for path names.
(I know that in 2.1 you could use either, but in 3.0 they only allow
'\' *ARGH!!!* )
I would greatly appreciate anyone who has UNIX-like stuff for the PC
that is in the public domain, if they could mail me a copy.
Also pointers to availability of commercial packages would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance ......

   There are probably many others (like myself) who would also like to 
obtain public domain, UNIX-like PC software.  How about posting the 
sources (here or in net.sources) rather than mailing individual copies?
