GNU sed v4.0.7, compiled with Gnuwin32. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html Navigate from the "packages.html" page to sed. You will notice that with many of the gnuwin32 packages, there are 2 different ways to install, either via the .exe file or manually. This version of sed compiled with GNUwin32 properly handles the -i switch under Microsoft Windows. The other ports of GNU sed (by unxutils with MinGW and also by DJGPP) do not handle Windows long filenames and file renaming properly.
