Subject:	Tools for DOS

For those of you who already know this, sorry to clog up the mailing list...

Steve:  You're looking for DOS ports of various tools.  There is the GNUish
project, semi-associated with GNU.  This is available on the SIMTEL20 set
of archives (directory MSDOS.GNUISH), I forget the address but it's well-
known, and on the St. Louis mirror of that archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu,
in /mirrors/msdos/gnuish.  IP address 128.252.135.4, if you don't have
access to a name-server (like those of us who live in 3rd world countries
or Japanese national universities :-).  Use the usual "anonymous" login
name and your email address as password for both of these archives.
    GNUish is not exactly GNU (since it's under DOS), nor does it have all
the ports of all the tools.  But it does make an attempt to pick a fairly
high quality port from those available for each tool.
