Depending on what you're trying to do, you might also want to check out Cygwin: http://www.cygwin.com/
"Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows."
Well that's in quotes, so it's just a character string, but lest somebody mistake it for an assertion...
[ rant/history lesson deleted for those with slow modems :-) ] For the curious, the quotes were indicating a direct quote from (the top of) http://www.cygwin.com Perhaps not the best choice of wording... considering all the individuals (besides Red Hat/Cygnus) who have helped make cygwin possible. For even earlier history of GNU software on DOS check here: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/history.html http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/eli-m17n99.html
