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).
