In response to Brent Byer:
This company that I mentioned contracted out with another firm to implement
these tools for them.  You will notice the striking resemblence to the
Software Tools User Group distribution, which is also based on Version 6.
There is no licensing conflict if some company writes a tool that has the
same user interface as another.  Maybe the choice of 'rewritten' ws not
clear, but I did not by any means want to insinuate that these tools were
rewrites of the ATT source code.   That indeed would be infringement.

As far as the usefulness of these tools, I know that several people in my
company have written some tools under PC-DOS simultaneously.  I was just trying
to avoid potential wasted effort.  It might be advantagous to spend $200
for working utilities than to spend more in development time to do it.
I know from my own experience after using the primitive PC-DOS system,
that any help would be welcome.

Just wanted to set the record straight.
