Several years ago I used a book called "UNIX In Plain English" by Kevin Richard &
Eric F. Johnson, MIS Press. It has a UNIX/DOS command cross reference within as
well as a plain index reference of a wide range of tasks and which Unix command(s)
are used to execute those tasks. The book itself is somewhat outdated but, most of
the Dos and Unix commands within the book are still quite valid.
