   Second, there is no utility with the GNU stuff to do command line
   completion and command line history and editing.  I downloaded from
   wuarchive a little utility called HISTORY.COM with it's source and
   it looks real good.  However, it is dated 1988 and was written by
   Michael Rubinstein and Russell Nelson.  What I would like to know
   is if I can rewrite the code (it is UGLY) then reupload it as
   freeware.

Yes, it's UGLY, but it doesn't take up too much memory either.

   It was written in Aztec C but ported to BC++ just fine (in C mode).
   TASM compiled the one .ASM file perfectly.

No, Michael wrote it in Aztec C and I ported it to Turbo C.

   Also, I changed it so that it was more UNIXy (BSD...I use the tab
   key for completion).

Yes, I'd change that also (now).
