Re: file management with XyDos and DOS & UNIX

[Russell Urquhart russurquhart1@xxxxxxxx]

You may want to consider Midnight Commander. It is a Norton Commander clone that was designed for Linux/Unix environments to offer file management and a framework for working with files. I've compiled and used it when i worked under Solaris, and i use it now with Mac OS X. I use the file manager to copy files that i've created with Xywrite under virtual PC and copy to other directories where i can do other operations on those files.


Hope this helps,

The rest of the office is run on a UNIX or MDX system.  Might anyone out there have any ideas as far as getting DOS and UNIX to speak to each other so that file management could be much more, what can I say, manageable?

Somet type of system that could keep track of documents - when they are started, when they are finished, who did the document, where they are at any time, etc....that type of thing.
