I'm new to ETO and MPW. On every other command-line-oriented development environment I've used, I've been able to find versions of common Unix-like utilities like 'tar', 'ls', GNU tools, etc. Why don't Unix and DOS command-line tools get ported to MPW tools? I searched the library for MPW tools and sample useful scripts but came up with very little, compared to what I might expect find in other popular computing enviroments. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?
