Crawford, Thanks for the info.
You ought to look at the Microsoft products, SFU. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/ Rather than being on top of windows like cgwin, it actually attaches to a subsystem. So it is lower level. In fact it changes windows into being case sensitive regarding filenames etc. Not that it would be as a real unix system, but if you have any clients that have a mixed environment, it might make your job easier when connecting to their Windows boxes. The one cripple feature that I found was that the X11 system will only work with local applications, not from remote applications. You have to purchase another product for that. Who would have seen that coming? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/ Will miss you at the meeting.
