If it does, I've not seen it.
The MKS Toolkit is a commercial product.
FYI: U/Win, a set of unix tools for windows is available for
windows platforms (incld W2K) from research.att.com.
It is free for individual, research, or educational use.
Commercially available also.
It includes over 200+ utilities including gzip, ksh, nawk,
perl, head, cut, tail, grep's, ... Does not include tar,
but does include pax (portable archive exchanger) and a
"tar" interface as a shell script. No c compiler though.
And certainly no dump or ufsdump :)
I suspect that given these tools I could even recover important
files from a current amanda/gnutar tape on a windows box.
The ability to recover files from amanda tapes using standard
utilities is a feature I favor. I have had to use that ability
twice in the last 2 years. I'd prefer to not lose it.
