Just for the record, DOSEMU (z:\bin) has BWBASIC (and other things): exe2bin (*sigh*), touch, tee, wcd, etc. (rest is normal "BASE" stuff). But they also have "z:\gnu", which has: mv, tail, grep, cat, rm, cp, cut, ls, cmp, tac, head (presumably all from GNUish). So, long story short, nobody can agree what is "classic" DOS. Everybody only has a very rough idea. I don't mind us sticking to it, but it feels odd when it's not practically usable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input? Slashdot Needs You.
