Hi there, I am about to start work on a Database (Foxbase+/Mac) programming project on the Mac and I would like to have a Unix-like environment which I can work in. I need tools like a) frep/grep/egrep b) vi (or a good text-editor) c) sh (or csh or ksh) work-alike d) rm,ls,mkdir etc... Is there any hope that I might find these tools anywhere?? (I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for a commercial product that is as good as the MKS toolkit) Also is it possible to get rid of the Mouse interface on the mac and use a unix like shell? And what does the extension hqx mean? I saw that when I ftp'd over to sumex.stanford.edu. What do I do with hqx files. Your help and e-mail is mucho appreciated. Thanx --Emuleomo O.O.

The current version is 4.12, and is available in pub/jove/4.12/ from cadre.dsl.pitt.edu for anonymous ftp transfer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken Mitchum MD KY3B Decision Systems Labs University of Pittsburgh km@cadre.dsl.pitt.edu
