Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) is your friend; it provides a relatively complete Unix hosted on Win32. It works best on the NT branch of the family when the disks are NTFS, but will degrade gracefully under W9x and/or FAT. It's free software. As soon as I find myself on a Windows machine, it's the first thing I install after the Internet tetralogy: AVG Anti-Virus, Spybot, Adaware, and Sygate Personal Firewall. Disclaimer: I have no connection with any of these companies. -- He played King Lear as though John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> someone had played the ace. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --Eugene Field http://www.reutershealth.com
