Not sure just what you are after... but, my Wizard suggested you look
for something called The Berkeley Utilities... He found them on the web
back in 2004, they are standard Unix commands for DOS, up-to-date as of
Win98 (so they recognize long file names).  He says that if you can't
find them he could send you a copy of them.

 bk> Maybe make that the rule?

It probably is sort of an unwritten one... but one doesn't necessarily
know what anyone would glom onto... ;)

 bk> Dos with Java? Or Windows or Linux?

No, that's Windows(98) with Java...  that's the machine that also has
more protection on it, not being straight DOS and so less vulnerable.
