There is an MS-DOS-type shell available that allows the normal MS-DOS
commands: DIR, COPY, ...  It seems to be a complete COMMAND interpreter.
I'm not sure of the price, but is available from MichTron in Pontiac,
Michigan.

I have used the Micro C-shell and have found some fairly serious
limitations.  For example, only one device (disk drive) could have a
path pointing to a subdirectory; all the rest are forced back to the
root directory.  (This was a couple months ago, maybe it has been
improved.)                    ...Ken Olson
