DOSNIX ver. 2.2
(Enhanced Version)

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.
