As many of you may remember I did a review of Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU) a few months ago. I remember being frustrated with that release because it seemed to me that all Microsoft did was throw something together just to be able to say "Hey look, we have this". I thought, since Microsoft released version 3.5, I would revisit and see what changes were done with it. I downloaded the beta version a while back and from the beta I was very impressed with the improvements that Microsoft made. Being a beta version it was buggy and some things just didnt quite work. I finally got the final version of the OpenBSD-based SFU 3.5 and this release makes dynamic leaps and bounds over previous releases of this software package. I am glad to see a lot more work was put into this release.

" actually I am the other way around; I like the dos prompt quite a bit, and wish there was a 'dos' shell for linux.
Strange or what? "
I did do a shell like that at one time that I called DSH, send me your e-mail address and I will look on my drives to see if I still got the source. It was written for NeXTStep, but I did do a port to Linux. The reason why I stopped distribution was because I didnt know if that was an infringment and I got so much hatemail and flames from people that I took it down. Im sure its probably still on the net somewhere, I dont know if the Linux version is but Im sure the NeXT version is.
