Where can I find Win32 ports of UNIX tools?
You might want to take a look at the help file for Windows NT and Windows 95 commands to see if there’s a rough equivalent distributed with your Win32 platform. If not, try one of these URLs: • GNU-Win32 – a Win32 port of many GNU tools, as well as a complete development environment. http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ • Virtually Un*x! – various ports of UNIX programs for Win32. http://www.itribe.net/virtunix There are also several UNIX-like tools available in the Windows NT Resource Kit. Also, there are several UNIX-to-Win32 commercial packages available, including the MKS Toolkit from Mortice Kerns Systems, Inc.: http://www.mks.com/ and Interix from Softway Systems: http://www.interix.com/ (the product formerly known as OpenNT). You can also check into the Perl Power Tools, being developed under the UNIX Reconstruction Project. Here you can find UNIX tools that are being reimplemented into all Perl.
