(not standing up for UN*X, mind you, I'm a VMS person at work, and an OS9er at
home, but) UN*X does have an alias command so you can make your user interface
to be anything you like. And UN*X does emply command line parameters and
switches just like OS9 does. First thing I did when we got an Ultrix (DEC's
flavor of UNIX) box was to go set up personal aliass for all the common
commands to be like VMS!

Oh, Tim Koonce ported alias to OS9, so if you DO like UNIX, you can make your
CoCo seem like it is running UNIX and not OS9!
