The shell script sets some environemnt variables, such as HADOOP_HOME,
but you don't need most of that if you are running the local mode. The
pig.jar has hadoop in it.
I haven't tried using pig on windows, but I think at least within
cygwin, running the java command directly should work.
java -cp pig.jar org.apache.pig.Main -x local
A patch for a batch file is certainly welcome !

I want to add that i installed cygwin. But the moment i clicked on the
mintty.exe, my Norton Antivirus, just deleted the exe and said it was
virus!!! :((
So i thought if it is enough to write a batch file and may be contribute if
that makes sense to pig project.

Hi,
Is there any restriction in using Pig in Windows?
For my development i want to use only local mode in my laptop. I am facing
issues in getting Linux installed, so i thought if i could just execute pig
in Windows it would be nice. I guess the only part to do would be to write
a batch file in Windows similar to the shell script already provided.
But like other apache libraries, was there any reason for not providing
such a batch file (to be used in Windows) by the Pig project itself.
Thanks much,
Subir
