I use Emacs on Win95 as a Java development environment. I use the gnuwin version of bash as my command shell. I have written a bash shell script that uses find and xargs to recursively tag a hierarchy of Java source files. This script works perfectly under Win95, using the gnuwin versions of find and xargs. I have also written and use a script based on the gnuwin version of gawk on Win95. I am very pleased with gnuwin and am grateful to cygnus for making it available. - Paul - 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".
