Ask your site administrator about how you can use uuencode to put a binary into a posting. BTW, you were joking about the MS-DOS utilities but all the ones you named have equivalents that someone has written at one time or another. One particularly good package is PICNIX (ls, grep, cp, rm, tee, etc.). The last version of it was version 3 and that had some significant bugs in it but a quick fix shortly thereafter cured many of them. Well worth considering if the author is still supporting them.

The last The problem with csh4 is that a number of the utilities you mentioned in PICNIX are built into the shell, or at least primitive versions (with few options) are built into the shell. It looks like it would be a pain in the rear to use the better PICNIX commands with csh4. I decided not to install it, and am planning to buy the MKS toolkit. Fred Sullivan SUNY at Binghamton Dept.
