For a full list, you will have to look inside the *.mft file in every 
package in v2gnu directory on SimTel.  A convenient way to look at 
individual files without downloading the entire package is at this URL:

However, since you seem to be arranging a Unix-like environment, you will 
eventually want almost everything in v2gnu anyway ;-).

You will definitely want Grep, Sed, Gawk, Diffutils, and Findutils as 
well.  Probably also Tar, Flex, Bison, and cpio.

There's no clear.exe.  DOS/Windows terminals don't support terminfo 
databases, so this utility would be useless on MS platforms.

Use the DOS command "cls" instead.  (You can make an alias for that, if 
you absolutely must have "clear".)
