What I do is run Win95 to run emacs, TeX and a few other things, like SAS. I don't really do c++ programming very often. What I would like is a complete set of Unix tools which run under Win95; that is, grep, awk, sed, tar, gzip and so forth on a DOS window, or even under a short-cut. 1) Is gnuwin and the cygnus tools the right direction? 2) Can I run these under Win95? Under bash in Win95? Often I see that many refer to Linux or other Unix ports. I don't really want to install another operating system, but may if necessary. I have looked at the FAQ, but it does not really address my questions. Is there a FAQ for complete ignorami such as myself? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
