I'm using a reasonably receint one. But to be sure I just tried
the latest on aarnet. It has busybox but not tr.
btw, thanks for the help on this Ken;
why it's important to me:
I'm now teaching 6 Linux classes a week, and about 1/3 of the students
(30 or 40) do not have access to a Linux box to practice on or do there
homework on.
So this week's lesson was making and using a tomsrtbt.
The idea being that they could practice using the commands and utilities
wherever they and also mount a DOS floppy to practice using an editor.
If they can add the \015's they will be able to print their work in the
library or where ever they can find a box running one of those legacy
commercial OSs.
If I carn't work aroun this I might have to make a custom tomsrtbt
with a tr.
