Enclosed, please find a few unix utilities (time and small lsh shell)
ported to freedos.

time_lsh.zip (1) (2)

These utilities are (1) the unix time execution timing routine, taken
from the (not very sophisticated) version in the opensource.apple
repository and modified such as to compile and run under MSDOS, and
the (2) small lsh unix-alike shell (command processor).

I have modified the sources of the Unix utilities such that they can
be compiled both via cross compilation under Linux and via djgpp under
MSDOS; in addition, the original unix versions can still be compiled
(neither defining MSDOS nor the __DJGPP__).

Enclosed, you will find shell commands and/or batch files to drive the
compilation.

If they are of any use to you and the freedos community, please
enclose them with / make them available on the freedos web site.

I have used freedos continuously under different environments
(natively and under emulation/Linux 64 and 32 bits), and I like it for
the breadth of the hardware integration it has attained as well as for
its stability and speed.
