(U)CD - Change directory and drive!, text match, reads file containing a directory!
CHMOD - Change file mode/attribute, protect files in directory with ONE command!
CP - Copy file(s) to new directory or file with REAL verify to check floppies and list progress
CPIO - save/restore/move entire directori(es), pattern match etc (XCOPY would be jealous)
MKDIR - Create new directory or list of directories on one line
MV - Move list of file(s) to new location directory or rename with verify across drives!
RM - Remove file(s) and/or directory(ies), recursive with confirm option and pattern match
TOUCH - Change file time or create new file (can save time during make’s)

Work with file content (no modification):
AF - Analyze file, give count for each ASCII code used
BGREP - Search in binary file for pattern or value (get real offsets in binary files!)
BVI - Interactive workhorse to view contents of any file any size in hex or text
CAT - concatinate several files, join binary or text files after split across discs
EGREP - Search one or several expressions in file or all your sources in a filelist
FGREP - Search one or several pattern in file or all your sources in a filelist
FILE - Display file type
GREP - Search text file for single pattern expression, can descend into several sub directories
HEAD - Display beginning of text file, great to get a quick overview of several files
M4 - Advanced macro processor - create your own source/HTML generator!
(U)MORE - Display text file one screen at a time and allow browsing any filesize
NL - Display text with line numbers, specify start, increment, format and width of number
OD - Display file as octal, decimal, hex, float or text, good old magnification glass
PR - Print a text file, select page, set tabs, header, page length, line numbers, filename
TAIL - Display the end of a text file, great to get only the latest, with big 20K roll back buffer
STRINGS - Extract text from binary file, freat to “view” executables
SUM - Display the checksum of file, great to check if files are identical after transmissions
TXTBOX - superseding UNIX® MORE for interactive viewing without limit of files size
plus line number display, search and much more ...

Work with file content
(edit contents: convert, count, edit, extract, sort, split):
B64 - Decode Base64 Internet Text Files, in case you an e-mail mixed WITH data
BVI - Interactive workhorse to view/edit contents of any file any size in hex or text
BED - Binary stream editor, great to “patch” executables for in-place edits
BSPLIT - split binary file into equal pieces, great to transfer huge files over floppies
CUT - Extract columns/fields from a file, get the 3rd field or last 10 character, re-order fields
DD - Convert file (ASCII/EBCDIC/upper/lower-case/swap bytes)
DOS2UNIX - Convert DOS text files to UNIX (CR+LF to LF), in-place edits, can use file list
GETLINES - Get range of lines from a file, great for sequential line by line batch files
GETRNG - filter out text lines based on a numeric value or range
IO - Extract file area and write to another file (at specified offset), for “binary surgery”
SED - Good old edit workhorse: extract, substitute, delete, etc... also advanced edits
(U)SORT - Advanced sorts based on fields combination, columns or entire line
SPLIT - split text file into equal line segments, when text files get too large to manage
TR - Translate a set of characters, convert all numbers to ‘N’, text to ‘T’ and then us AF
UNIQ - Find unique lines/fields in sorted text file, great to throw duplicates out
