- You already have them; use the C shell and enter this in your .cshrc:
-
- alias md mkdir
- alias chdir cd
- alias rename mv
- alias ren mv
- alias erase rm -i
- alias rd rmdir
-
- and for good measure:
-
- alias cls clear
- alias ver uname -sr
- alias type cat
-
- okay, okay .. you get the idea.

- SunOS 4.1.1 includes a new filesystem type: pcfs.
- Toss your DOS floppy into the drive and then "cd /pcfs" (assuming
- /pcfs has been mounted as shown in the /etc/fstab file).
