Well, I installed Cygwin a long time ago : I then can use all the fine unix commands like grep, sed and even write shell script to do a lot of things while I can do something more interesting or usefull. And with a proper symbolic link, you can even run Windows command in a shell script (a little tricky because you have to escape the insane backslash used as a directory separator). I used this to convert some hundreds of tiff files into ecw. It ran all the night without me to interact every 2 mn with the user interface ! -- Michel Wurtz MAAPAR/DGA/SDSI/CERIT/DIG --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 10592
