Re: Running scripts from linux to modify image files on a windows2000 box
Make life simple. Go to the Gnu site and download the stuff for Windows. There is a small exe that you install, and it manages installing the rest. You will get a nice shell and many Unix commands into the bargain. Then, your scripting environment will be the same. Run the same scripts on Linux and Windows. I do this and am happy with the setup. If you are using ImageMagik, you can install the winders version and be complete.

Re: Running scripts from linux to modify image files on a windows2000 box
What software are you referring to? I did download cygwin from somewhere. It gave me a unix like environment in windows but the root directory it supplied would not let me access the other directories on the windows box.

Re: Running scripts from linux to modify image files on a windows2000 box
OK. I have got cygwin, and I can access windows directories, and this looks very possible. I can download a lot of packages and they work. This could get habit forming. However, how does one install software that doesn't appear in the menus when you run setup.exe? I need to install imagemagick's command line utilities, but I did not see imagemagick in the list of available programs.
