You can use CygWin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/), instead. IMHO, CygWin
provides better Unix-on-NT support than MKS does.

Subject: CVS versus MKS (or should I avoid moving to MKS?)
Hello
I currently use CVS for our projects - we have 9 modules, about 9300
files, close to 80Mbytes in total (mostly .jsp and .java files). We don't
do much in-house development, but quite a bit of bug fixing and minor
improvements.
Most of the new development is done offsite for us - the code gets shipped
to me and I merge the branch, etc. The CM experts in the company that does
the offsite development for us are starting to recommend (and push) MKS as
a "solution" which according to them would allow for better concurrent
development and all kinds of extra good things. The offsite developers now
use Visual Source Safe and would give it up in favour of MKS.
I know CVS allows for remote access and would be happy to keep using it.
However, I will need to provide some reasons to my boss as to why we
should ignore the good advice of the CM specialists. In fact, should I
stick to CVS? I like CVS, but if MKS is truly a better tool, and the size
and scope of our projects warrant it, perhaps we should adopt it? Should
we keep CVS while they use MKS?
Anyways, to end this long note, I would appreciate any comments you all
may have about my situation.
Thanks in advance
Antonio
