There is GNU C and C++ (two versions: "GCC/2" and EMX/GCC. EMX is better:
the C library works, it supports both native OS/2 .obj and .lib, as well as UNIX
style .o and .a files, GDB, it has fork() and other UNIXisms, C library
in a dynamic linked library (ie shared library), curses, ar, ld etc.)

GNU make
Nethack (GNU?)
GNU text utils (tr, cat, pr, ...)
GNU file utils (ls, mv, du ....)
GNU perl, awk, flex, bison
GhostScript, GNU Plot
GNU bc, db
groff, gnu man
GNU emacs 18.58.3
TeX (gnu??)
less
zoo
find, f2c, p2c, sed, diff, info, tar, grep, m4, rcs, cpio etc.

that's all I can think of, there's probably more.

missing: bash (use korn shell if you're desperate), mtools (that would be
brain damaged) Taylor uucp (use uupc OS/2)

in progress: BSD sockets (a free one, at least one $$$ version is available)
more korn shell fixes, possibly bash.

commentary: if you want a lot of UNIXisms without the scary prospects of
Linux or BSD/386, OS/2 is a pretty safe and CHEAP alternative.
