And did I mention that in DOS you can type rename *.txt *.asc to turn all *.txt files into the corresponding *.asc file
but that if in unix you type mv *.txt *.asc not only will it not rename your *.txt files to be *.asc files, but if you have only two *.txt files it will silently destroy the second and issue no warning that anything has gone amiss.
In Unix, I can use a single command to delete an entire file tree -- rm -r. In DOS, I have to delete each directory by hand. This isn't how you evaluate these things, James.
And of course I have already mentioned the unix "make" utility.
DOS doesn't even have a make utility -- perhaps you should do without using make ever again, as DOS is obviously superior. Perry
