	Are there other people out there who are interested in getting
those nifty UNI* tools running on IBM/Klone machines ?  Surely I am not
the only one who has occasionally longed for "awk" (or a decent shell)

	I propose a mutual aid society of PC users. Certainly we might
have some problems sending source across the net, but maybe there are
those among us who have ported UNI* compatible utilities. I have a kind
of "sed" that is not bad. (if interested, mail)  
	I have recently hear rumors of UNI* kernels for PC's ? shells ?
stuff like that ? I think it's time that maybe we come out of the closet
and admit that we have PC's but try to make the best of our situation.
	If there is interest in this, or if you have any UNI* tools you've
ported, drop me a line. If there's enough interest in this, maybe we can
follow this up by assembling some diskettes on a stamped-self-addressed
basis.
