[comp.sys.att] Accessing DOS programs from Unix

acarlson@laurel.math.umass.edu (Adam Carlson) (03/25/91)

I have an ATT WSG 6386 with a Unix partition and a Dos partition.  I
would like to be able to run programs and access files in the dos
partition from unix.  In particular, I would like people to be able to
log in remotely to unix, and run a dos program.  The nice people at
ATT told me that I needed a program called simultask, but wouldn't
send me any information about it.  I a running Unix SysV/386 Rel 3.2
and MS-DOS 3.3.  In the best of all possible worlds, the program which
will allow me to do this is PD, but beggars can't be choosers.

Please reply to me:

You must have spoken with an idiot!  *They* are the only ones who
*sell* Simultask!
