[comp.os.msdos.programmer] unix shell and utils for ms-dos

I have truly found happiness with PolyShell, available from Sage Software.
They are about to drop this product, but they have given the rights to the
man who wrote it, Pat Thompson.  He will be personally selling it.  It will
soon be available for OS/2, as well.

IMHO it is better than the MKS Utilities.  Look into it.

Sage also sells a version of AWK written by Thompson.  Quite excellent, and
there is a compiler available.

|Hello World,
| 
|I'm looking for a C-Shell and other Berkley Unix utilities that have

|replacement for the standard COMMAND.COM shell.  Who's ported them,

|interest, I will post a summary.

I don't have exact file/program names for you, but there is a board that
I frequent in this area (DC) that has loads of Unix and Unix ported to DOS
utilities.  The board is Top-50 nationally and called 'Computer Connect'
and run by Bob Blacher and is (202) 547-2008.
