Anyone have their phone No. or address? Custom Sofware Systems went out of business about 2-3 years ago after AT&T sued and won. They had apparently used AT&T code in some of their products and hadn't licensed it. It is shame because I still use PC/Vi, PC/Tools and PC/Spell regularly. All are solid. I wish they could have found a way to stay in business. >Are there other Unix utility packages for MSDOS you would recommend? Try MKS Toolkit from Mortice Kern Systems in Canada, PICNIX or DOSIX available on SIMTEL20 or the tools recently posted with MS-Shell in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. -- Jeff Johnson 10926 Jollyville Rd #1420 Computer Consultant Austin, TX 78759 (512) 343 0675 email: @cs.utexas.edu:ibmchs!auschs!marichal.austin.ibm.com!jeff Disclaimer: "My views and opinions do not reflect those of IBM"
