GNU utilities for Win32

September 29, 2004 · Posted in *nix

This rocks:

1) Go to http://unxutils.sourceforge.net and pull the .zip down
2) Extract to your HD
3) Copy the binary path (e.g. C:/Unix/Utils/usr/local/wbin *) to your PATH environment variable on your Windows box
4) Enjoy full support of Unix commands from the Win command line! tail, ls, dir, etc

*uh, those should actually be backslashes but wordpress won’t allow me to insert them

But Mr. Stupe, those ARE backslashes.

I thought they were forward slashes? Then again, I’m looking at my hand this morning, and it kinda looks like a 5 piece chicken dinner. So I could be wrong.

Regardless let’s all shift our attention to the link on SB Home which points to my Amazon wish list (thank you Robert). You will find it highly relevant for Monday’s global celebration of my 36th year on the planet. Please sort via priority. (Hint. Like a big brick hint. Dropping from the sky.)

Hey Litten! Is that your present to Grendel then? You mind if I get in on that as well?

You know man, it’s all about the love on this site. All about the love. I cherish our time together. Now Rob, you can get me the blue mega-man. Phil, you can get me the green mega-man.
