Subject: Operating System Command References

Hello.  I am need of some information for a school project that I am hoping
everyone may be able to help me with.  What I need to do is make a reference
chart as large as possible that covers various basic commands for the various
operating systems in existance. For example:

       Command Summary         UNIX            MS-DOS          TOPS-10

       display directory       ls -l           dir             dir
       copy a file             cp old new      copy old new    copy new old

What I need from Netland is the common commands for the various operating 
systems.  Such as XENIX, VMS, CP/M, AppleDos, BSD, Xenix, TRS/Ls Dos, etc.  
Just the basic commands.  This also will go into making "alias templates" for 
CSH and KSH for users on UNIX systems who would like to have a command set of 
their native machine. 

Here is a small list of commands that I would like for the chart. It is not all
of them, just the ones I can think of off hand.  I am using the UNIX equivalents
of each since UNIX is my native operating system.

       cat             cd/chdir        chmod           ln
       lpr             mkdir           more/less       mv
       rm              cp              ls              biff
       finger          who             mail/mailx      mesg
       write/chat      cal             calendar        date
       lock            pwd             uptime          man
       pr              cmp             diff            find
       grep            head/tail       sort            uniq
       wc              kill            ps              tee
       time

I know that some operating systems will not have some of these commands, like
MSDOS would not have 'who' or 'ps'.  Those will be represented by 'N/A' in the
chart.  I would also like to have the commands for entering both common line
and full screen editors, especially for the ones that come with the operating
system.  Not the editor commands, just the command to get into an editor.

After this project, and if it gets a good grade, my next project will probably
be along the same lines with the exception of making a chart for editors, both
full screen and line.

All information and help would be greatly appreciated.  Please mail all replies
so I can be sure to collect them all. And if you are interested in the
"aliasing
templates", mail me and I will get them to you upon their completion.  If there
is enough interest in them, I may post them to the net.

Sorry about the cross posting but I wanted to get this to all the groups that
dealt with a different operating system.

Thanks for your help.

-Jo
