The three items I am aware of (there may be more;  this
is just all I know about) are:

Mentat STREAMS (see http://www.mentat.com/ )
MKS shell
ODBCLink/SE from MB Foster (who is of course "one of us")

I have heard speculation that it might not be TOO big a
task to replace the MKS shell with GNU equivalents.
Doesn't mean that would be a trivial task, but might be
possible.  Those with much more expertise in this area
than I have may have a better idea.

I have no idea what replacing Mentat STREAMS would involve.

WRT ODBCLink/SE, expect we would just have to make some
kind of mutually agreeable deal with Birket.   :-)
