I have been informed by one of the Marketing Reps that I work with of a
new software product ($495 list) from Absolute Computers, (512) 458-5206.

The manual states as follows:

"The DOS commands provide access to the files and directories on MS-DOS
floppy disks, thus providing the user with utilities to copy UNIX files
from the AT&T 3b2/x00 to an MS-DOS floppy disk, or from an MS-DOS floppy
disk to the UNIX file system.  These DOS utilities do not provide MS-DOS
emulation on the 3b2 - only file transfer capablity."

It appears that you are required to have an Absolute hard drive
expansion box for this to work, but I'm not sure.  It supports the
equivalents to DIR, TYPE, COPY, DEL, MKDIR, and RMDIR.

You now know as much as I do about this product.

Bob
