Can someone let me know what utilities are included in the UNIX Utilities
package sold for the AT&T 6300+? If you are so inclined, I'd like to
know what commands are included in the main UNIX SV package too.
My local supplier isn't up on this stuff.

The $195 UNIX/Simul-Task foundation set contains just about everything in SVR2 except nroff/troff and the graphics utilities. That's about 100~150 utilities, plus some special stuff like the NoteWriter editor and a dozen or so MS-DOS-related items. at, awk, banner, bc, ..., grep, ..., vi,... and so on are all there. So are the whole uucp and lp subsystems. I sincerely doubt that you will miss anything. The $395 UNIX Development Set has the C compiler, assembler, make, lex, yacc, SCCS, and so on. It does not include FORTRAN. (RM FORTRAN is available separately, as are other tools.) The Development Set is usable with a 20 MB disk, but is ever so much more comfortable with a 40MB (PC6300 PLUS model CPU26) or with an expansion box (60MB tape/20MB disk), both available from AT&T, or with other large configurations available from Value Added Resellers like DuCommun, CIA, or CCT. If you buy a non-AT&T configuration, though, make sure it supports UNIX. Harvey S. Cohen, mtuxo!hsc
