[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Of Unix-like MsDos utilities at uwasa.fi

ts@uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi) (11/15/90)

Thu 15-Nov-90: There are often questions asking for Unix-like
utilities from the MsDos, perhaps since many users have a Unix
background and would like to use familiar commands.  And some of
these commands are useful for MSDos even if one hasn't used Unix. 
We have the following packages at uwasa.fi archives in directory
/pc/pd2.
     danix.zip
     dantools.zip
     picnix3a.zip
     picnix3b.zip
     picnix3up.zip 
   The daxic.zip collection by Dan Schikore is the latest dated
12-Nov-90.  It is a nice set and includes for example man, head, and
tail, which have been sought my many users.  The well-known picnix
utilities are by Peter Heitman, and date back to 1988.  The oldest
collection we have is the alse useful dantools.zip by Daniel Norton
dating back to 1987.
