[net.micro] UNIPRESS software warning

ijb@druxv.UUCP (Ira Blumberg) (02/17/84)

I have a copy of this companies UNIX tools for the PC and they all work,
but there are some major deficiencies.  None of the tools will accept
wild card file specifiers or path names in DOS 2.0.  This is not
important for some of the tools like diff, but it makes things like grep
useless.  I called the company and they didn't have any idea how to go
about adding wild card or path support to their product.  Thus, if you
have a UNIX system with source code and a method to download files, you
can compile the UNIX tools on the PC for yourself and get the same
product.  Overall, I am not impressed with the effort the company has
put into their tools.

As always, these are my private views and have nothing to do with my
employer.
