I like davex, I've used it, and I urge you to make it more UN*Xy, Dave,
really! :-) (Didja every get around to the space=yes deal?)

If you think the command shells available for ProDOS are funky, go run out
and try your latest korne shell. . .

There's always room for improvent.  I'm sure I could write a really funky
shell that does great file manipulation, but it wouldn't have any features.

And I think appleworks make them about 256! times harder than on an IBM, and
if you've every used an IBM (I know you have, Dave) you know what I mean. . .
