I am aware of GhostScript, GNU C++, GNUplot, and GNUHack. 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. > >Mike. > -- __________________________________________________________________________ John Paul Morrison | Just another "Enemy of Canada" University of British Columbia, Canada | Say NO/NON to Constitutional Electrical Engineering | hegemony and fear-mongering jmorriso@ee.ubc.ca VE7JPM | by politicians/scum. ________________________________________|_________________________________
