PLEASE!  Post that baby!  Many of us do not have FTP access and would be
deprived of that tasty tidbit.  Ask your site administrator about how you can
use uuencode to put a binary into a posting.

BTW, you were joking about the MS-DOS utilities but all the ones you named
have equivalents that someone has written at one time or another.  One
particularly good package is PICNIX (ls, grep, cp, rm, tee, etc.).  The last
version of it was version 3 and that had some significant bugs in it but a
quick fix shortly thereafter cured many of them.  Well worth considering if
the author is still supporting them.
