        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 will 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 wil 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.  

    RM -       More powerful than the DOS DEL command, this utility will
             will remove complete directory structures and is great
             for erasing floppies.  Unlike some UNIX versions, RM
             will warn you before doing anything drastic.


        DOSNIX also includes versions of the CAT, TEE and TOUCH commands.
