DOSNIX ver. 2.2 (Enhanced Version) A Product of Chenango Shoreware Copyr. 1990,1992 by G. Vrooman All rights reserved. DOSNIX is a collection of UNIX style file management and text utilities which will increase the power and flexibility of your system. DOSNIX provides many of the features which UNIX users take for granted along with some features not even found on UNIX systems. It is not a UNIX clone but it is very compatible with UNIX conventions. Users who are familiar with UNIX will have no trouble learning DOSNIX. Other users may find DOSNIX a good tool for learning UNIX. Some of the programs included with DOSNIX are: CHMOD - This version of the UNIX CHMOD command has been adapted to work with MSDOS file attributes. It will allow you to change the attributes of any file and allow you to create read only, hidden and system files. CLR - A utility which will allow you to customize your screen colors from the command line. CLR will work properly with or without ANSI.SYS. CP - The UNIX counterpart of the DOS COPY command. CP will allow you to copy hidden and system files, and the DOSNIX version will not overwrite existing files without warning you. CP can handle wild cards and multiple arguments and will even allow you to format a new floppy disk if the first one gets filled up. CP also has options to utilize the archive bit or to copy files interactively. DB - The famous "delete but" command will delete all except specified files. This command is not UNIX but it is a great tool for cleaning up around ZIP, ARC and other archive files. EDC - Easy Directory Change. This utility will allow you to change directories without typing out long path names. EDC can also be used to display a visual directory tree on your screen. FFIND - FFIND is a file locator in the tradition of the UNIX FIND command. Although FFIND does not have the power and scope of the UNIX version, it is much easier to use. FFIND will locate files on any drive and will accept wild cards. It will also locate hidden and system files and has options to remove unwanted files. LS - The venerable UNIX directory lister. LS has been spruced up and given another sort and two new display modes. LS will now display directories sorted by file size as well as name, extension or date. LS can list files in one, two, four or five column formats, sorted by row or by column, and offers a choice of upper or lower case output. LS also offers reverse sorting and a choice of switch characters. Default options can be set from the environment. MV - A fast powerful file mover, MV is used to relocate files without performing separate COPY and DEL commands. MV can be used to move files to any directory or to any drive. MVDIR - The UNIX directory move utility. MVDIR will relocate complete directory trees and this version will even move them to another drive. READ - A highly modified version of the UNIX PG or MORE command, READ is a handy text file viewer which will recognize both UNIX and keypad commands and will read from STDIN or directly from files. READ can now handle extended text modes such as 80 X 30, 80 X 60 and even 132 column modes. RM - More powerful than the DOS DEL command, this utility will remove complete directory structures and is great for erasing floppies. Unlike some UNIX versions, RM will warn you before doing anything drastic.
