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 like the MKS toolkit available for PCs) 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.

Yes. You want the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), which is available from APDA. It's very slow, but very powerful.

What do I do with hqx files. These are binary files that have been encoded with a BinHex utility; you need to decode them either with the BinHex application or with some other utility that can decode BinHex files, such as StuffIt.
