LICENSE
This software can be used under terms of GPL (General Public License).
In short it means that it is free, including source code, but it should 
remain free after any your modifications. Read the whole
text of the license how you can use, distribute and modify this software

or

IF YOU MODIFY OR ADD SOMETHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT CHANGES YOU DID 
TO INCORPORATE THEM TO NEXT VERSIONS. 

WARNINGS:
- NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. 
- PLAESE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS JUST EMULATION. THE COMMANDS COULD NOT 
  ALWAYS BEHAVE EXACTLY AS YOU SUPPOSE.



INSTALLATION
Make a directory (for example C:\LINLIKE) and unpack all files there.
Add the directory to your PATH variable (for example by adding following 
line to last line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
PATH=%PATH%;C:\LINLIKE
).

TIPS
To get as much as possible look'n'feel of Linux on your DOS command line,
start DOSKEY (command line editing in MS DOS) and PCM driver (PC Mouse - 
mouse clipboard driver for DOS). PCM driver is freeware and can be 
obtained from SimtelNet:
http://www.sintel.net/
You can also start more virtual consoles using DOSSHELL (MSDOS 6.x) or 
TASKMGR (DRDOS 6.x, 7.x, OPENDOS). Note that this is not multitasking, but 
just task switching. Also note that some programs may crash under 
task-switchers and freeze the whole box.

NOTE
Tested only with MS DOS 6.22.

CURRENTLY EMULATED COMMANDS AND SWITCHES

*command*   *switches*
ls          -alh --help
mv          -h --help  
rm          -h --help  
pwd         -h --help  
cp          -h --help
cat         -h --help

Enjoy!
