*Sigh* Please don't flame me for this, but there are those in our organization who want to know if there are any "user friendly" shells for UNIX (be they Public Domain or commercial). I personally like UNIX just fine, but the specific interest is in VMS look alikes for UNIX. Any pointers to "user friendly" shells (vms or non-vms; commercial or Public Domain) would be greatly appreciated. Next I'll probably be out searching for "CP/M or MS/DOS like shells"; It's depressing :-( ========================================================================== Bob DeBula | Internet: bobd@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu The Ohio State University | Disclaimer: These are my views, not the U's Davros sez: When my Daleks compute they use X-TER-MI-NALS!
