Korn Shell and over 160 utilities such as ls, sed, cp, stty etc. In Japan, such software has been used for years. The name is "BSD on Windows". According to its homepage (http://www.ascii.co.jp/pb/superascii/bow/index.html - written in Japanese), "BSD on Windows" is a BSD UNIX kernel emulator that executes 4.4BSD-lite based BSD UNIX program (i386 architecture) on Microsoft Windows, and you can enjoy single user multi tasking UNIX compatible environemnt. BSD UNIX binary includes editors like Mule (Multilingal Emacs), vi, filters like perl, awk, sed, and development tools like cc, as, make are used without little modifications. It's commercial software (costs about $100), and I don't know whether it works on English Windows or not. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Network Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp
