Subject: CONIX

I am considering adding a UNIX-like shell to my CP/M system. I am
currently looking at CONIX and ZCPR. 

Would any of you with experience with either of these or with
recommendations for alternatives please reply to me at

       HAAR.GMR@CSNET-RELAY  (or HAAR@GMR if you are on CSNET)

I will forward replies to anyone who is intested or to INFO-CPM
if there is enough interest.

The features that I am looking for are:

       - compatible with CP/M 3.0 at the BDOS level
         (retains banked memory and disk caching)

       - compatible with all CP/M software that uses
         standard system calling conventions

       - provides I/O redirection in a UNIX-like fashion

       - hierachical, named directories

       - automatic path searches including overlay files

       - shell command language including variables, conditionals,
         loops, and nested shell scripts

I would appreciate any information you can provide.
