Subject: "make"ing MPE programmers Posix portable :-)
Author: Eric Schubert <[log in to unmask]> at HMS-Internet

Charge:
After reading books on Posix programming - browsing Shell and Utilities
guides and make books - my head aches.
There is one overall lacking feature in all these books (that I learned in
marketing 101):
"Customer will retain squat unless related to something familiar."
I would like to start a two column thread - MPE on one side - Posix on the
other. The idea is to list a well known MPE command or function and map
that into the Posix equivalent.
OK, lets start simple - common everyday things. This could get quite large
but it would be useful for first timers (probably need combinations of shell
commands to equivalent most MPE commands).
MPE: SH.HPBIN.SYS -L (POSIX):
----- ------
CHGROUP pub cd ../PUB
SHOWME pwd, who, ???
COPY filea,fileb (filea is FILEA) cp FILEA FILEB (filea _is_not_ FILEA)
EDIT vi
SHOWJOB who
PRINT more
LISTF @ ls -lsa
LISTF @.@ ls -R
ECHO print, echo
FILE ???
BUILD ???
REDO r
SHOWME whoami or who am i
Ok, my watch says 5:00pm - anybody please feel free to add your favorites
(you're right - I'm starting a group effort here). Lets not get into
subsystems like vi for now (chapters).
Any pointers to other sources along these lines very welcome!
