Here are a couple of more very basic questions.
What I do is run Win95 to run emacs, TeX and a few other things, like SAS.
I don't really do c++ programming very often. What I would like is a
complete set of Unix tools which run under Win95; that is, grep, awk, sed,
tar, gzip and so forth on a DOS window, or even under a short-cut.
1) Is gnuwin and the cygnus tools the right direction?
2) Can I run these under Win95? Under bash in Win95? Often I see that
many refer to Linux or other Unix ports. I don't really want to install
another operating system, but may if necessary.
I have looked at the FAQ, but it does not really address my questions. Is
there a FAQ for complete ignorami such
as myself?
