Custom Sofware Systems went out of business about 2-3 years ago after
AT&T sued and won.  They had apparently used AT&T code in some of their
products and hadn't licensed it.  It is shame because I still use
PC/Vi, PC/Tools and PC/Spell regularly.  All are solid.  I wish they
could have found a way to stay in business.

>Are there other Unix utility packages for MSDOS you would recommend?

Try MKS Toolkit from Mortice Kern Systems in Canada, PICNIX or DOSIX
available on SIMTEL20 or the tools recently posted with MS-Shell in
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
