I have a copy of this companies UNIX tools for the PC and they all work, but there are some major deficiencies. None of the tools will accept wild card file specifiers or path names in DOS 2.0. This is not important for some of the tools like diff, but it makes things like grep useless. I called the company and they didn't have any idea how to go about adding wild card or path support to their product. Thus, if you have a UNIX system with source code and a method to download files, you can compile the UNIX tools on the PC for yourself and get the same product. Overall, I am not impressed with the effort the company has put into their tools. As always, these are my private views and have nothing to do with my employer.

Or haven't you read your UNIX license agreement lately? Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
