Why make it complicated.
There are plenty of tools written in C which will compile to run under DOS.
If you really want to be fancy and run UNIX, try a lightweight LINUX.
You could probably make do with an old 386 or 486 discard, 8Meg or RAM
and just a few hundred meg of disk. Cost is asymptotic zero.
It certainly saved my old laptop from being a boat anchor.
