Too bad that I have other commitments tomorrow.  I use a lot of the 
Unix tools that have been ported to OS/2 under EMX.  I use AWK quite 
often along with SED.  I mainly use 4OS2 as my command interpreter, but 
I also use the BASH shell when I trying to do a build of Unix software. 
 I am also use TCL/Tk and their shells on occasion. 
As for Perl....  All of the special characters remind me of TECO.  I am 
still learning, but quite often reading Perl seems like looking at 
transmission line noise.
