Randall, I was looking at Cygwin just this morning! I could not discern, however, whether or not I could back out once installed. In other words, does the DLL only enable Unix commands in a command window, or does it slap a GUI on top of Windows? I'd love to have Unix commands, but I cannot risk my development environment.

"Touch" is just one of the hundreds of POSIX-compliant and Gnu tools included in this open-source, $free software package. It includes everything from the lowliest of commands such as "cp" and "cat" to the giants, gcc, Emacs, Python, Perl, Tex and Apache (and, of course, "much, much more"). Cygwin is a near-perfect integration of the Unix world and that hundred-pound gorilla of an OS that few of us can ignore. And it's vastly more affordable than VMWare.
