Hi,

I've tried many many seds for DOS, and most aren't very useful. Even
if you can workaround the limitations and bugs (not always possible),
you're still very limited. For simple stuff, it doesn't matter. But if
you depend on anything more than that, you need a good one. Most semi-
decent ones seem to be based upon Eric Raymond's old version, e.g.
HHsed, SEDMOD, csed. But as mentioned, you have to be careful since
they all have bugs and quirks. (And FYI, not an insult since it's
quite good, but GNU sed really is quite slower than these old realmode
versions.)

Concerning mv and rm, they would almost definitely have to accept long
cmdlines and regex, which I'm pretty sure most pre-existing "ports"
don't support.

In short, you don't technically need DJGPP, but it greatly helps.   :-)
