I haven't been able to run uwin at work for a couple of years, because
Symantec dislikes uwin on principle.  As far as I can tell, anyway.

But the last few updates of Win 7 have rendered uwin pretty much unusable
anyway.  It's why I've switched to Windows PowerShell, to the extent that
on my latest (home) W7 system I didn't even bother installing uwin.

It makes me sad, but powershell with the right aliases is in fact quite
usable.  Only a few things in the shell itelf are irritatingly incompatible.

Metta,
Ivan
