GRASS on PC-DOS

GRASS will run on pc type machines under various flavors of
UNIX. I have not heard of a version for pc's running MSDOS. Because of this
I am working on converting GRASS to MSDOS. It won't be ready for a while and
will probably be released in a MFU (Most Frequently Used) sequence of
modules. d.display and it's attendant programs will probably be ready in a
couple of weeks. v.digit and LTPlus are next on the list. Others will follow.

Hi,
    I remember that a few months ago, there was quite a bit of discussion on
GRASS on PC-DOS. Someone (from .gov) said that he ported most part of GRASS
on DOS and even gave an Internet address for his paper about it. I can't
remember his name/address but I think that one can dig it out from the archives
for the GIS-L.
    I understand there could be potentially a large number of users looking for
GRASS on DOS. But why DOS rather than Windows? Besides, for power users, they
can get GRASS on Linux--which is closer to the real thing.

Believe it or not there are people in the world who do want to deal
with Unix, so they want thing to work in the DOS world.
