Hello all! I'm posting this article here since there isn't yet a
comp.sys.os2 :-)
I've been using OS/2 for a few months now, and have been hunting for
software in both executable and source form. Now that I've accumulated
quite a bit of software, I've been thinking about some other tools that
would be nice for OS/2.
Since I like the UNIX tools, I have been wondering about porting some tools
from UNIX to OS/2. I think it would be great if we could port some/most of
the Free Software Foundation's GNU software to OS/2. I have Bison (GNU's
yacc) for OS/2.
I am thinking of attempting to port Bash (GNU's Bourne Again Shell) to OS/2
and would like any advice for porting from UNIX to OS/2.
Thanks in advance,
-Rob Kedoin
