Unix Utilies for Windows

images/stories/unix_t.png#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/unix_t.png?width=369&height=100
If you still have an old version of Windows floating about from before the days that MS conceded that the Windows O/S should be built on the Linux O/S, and you want to do anything vaguely sophisticated in the brain-dead command line shell of Windows (a.k.a. the DOS prompt), then you need a collection of commonly used UNIX utilities that can run under Windows. You should first ask yourself why you are running an outdated and unsafe version of Windows, but that is another story...
I have put together such a collection of the most popular UNIX utilities and a few other command-line programs, that are licensed for you to do with these programs whatever you want. You can download the utility bundle here:
