Have you looked at the file utilities provided by the "GNUis DOS
project?"  This batch of utilities (futil.something, as I recall)
includes dos versions of a variety of such utilities found on Unix
machines.

GNUish DOS project files are available via ftp from:

			bigbang.berkeley.edu
			vulcan.phyast.pit.edu
			wsmr-simtel20.army.mil

official GNU:

			prep.ai.mit.edu

I'm sorry, I don't recall the directory where found but, as I
recall it was fairly obvious.  Try looking in /pub for something
that suggests "gnudos."  In some cases, you will need to get the
documentation from the real GNU project on prep.

For those of you not familiar with Unix commands, unless otherwise
specified by you, the program assumes that you know what you are
doing and that you really want to do it.  It *won't* ask if you
really mean it, and, once done, it generally can't be undone.

Best,
