  Interesting idea, but...  I learned MS-DOS first, then fell in love with
UNIX.  It so happens that the bigger market for software is in MSDOS, not
UNIX.  I can't move the market to UNIX, but here is the opportunity for me
to help make DOS more UNIX-like.  If DOS users don't like the UNIX extensions,
then they shouldn't use them.  The rest of us, however, can use them.  Marty
