Are there other Unix utility packages for MSDOS you would recommend? Yes! The GNU file utilities, and many other GNU tools, have all been ported to MS-DOS by Thorsten Ohl, in Germany. I did not try every UNIX-like tools floating around, but I can say that Thorsten's ports are highly satisfactory to me. Just as a matter of example, he sent me is port of GNU make, two days ago, and it is a wonder: I never had such a powerful make on MS-DOS. It swaps itself out of the way, it automatically generates response files, and other very nice gooddies. I think his work should be better publicized. How should I proceed to make it available on this continent? -- Franc,ois Pinard ``Vivement GNU!'' pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (514) 588-4656 cp 886 L'Epiphanie (Qc) J0K 1J0 ...!uunet!iros1!pinard
