Hello to everyone,

This message is posted to several, on first sight unrelated newsgroups.

The reason is the following. Since a few weeks I am responsible for hard-
and software for a small transporting firm. Our main system is WANG VS
using the VS operating system release 7.

I come from a different background. I am used to U*ix related-tools under DOS
and OS/2 (sed, awk, LaTeX, fweb, GNU utilities, etc).

My question is : does anyone know of ports of these programs and utilities to
WANG VS system ? I've read in the handbooks that there are 'non-WANG VS
systems which run under BSD'. Does anyone have any information on these ?

For replies, please use my email address :

Thanks.
