A set of native Win32 UN*X like shell commands is available from the Virtually UN*X! page on http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/. A native Win32 GNU make can be built from the official sources using MSVC++. make and binutils are also included in Jan Jaaps Mingw32-gcc distribution on http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/. A native Win32 sh is a real problem. There's a port of csh on http://www.hamiltonlabs.com/ which unfortunately is payware. An alpha version of a bash 1.4 port is available from ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu, although the author has stopped development in favour of cygwin32. :-( Another payware project is Mortice Kern Systems' MKS Toolkit (http://www.mks.com/) which however (as far as I know) doesn't include any shell. At the moment *I* am using Jan Jaaps gcc, make and binutils, Virtual UN*X's file utils and 4NT as shell. It works quite well although you can't do any real shell scripts. Hope that helps. :) bye Michael - 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".
