Kay,

Why did you spend so much time on getting commands in their source form?
I went to the Cygnus site and pulled down a file called "all.tgz",
I believe.  It had all the unix-like commands precompiled for Windows95
and I believe also WindowsNT.  I installed them and they worked fine - 
it took about an hour.

What's wrong with getting the unix-like programs in executable form?
Included was gnumake, bash, grep, chdir, ls, gawk, and sed.

Jim
