\_ Or PERL
\_     or the BASH psudo-shell for WIN-32
\_       maybe what-is-it RUBY?


Heh... bash isn't a pseudo shell...it's all the way there. See
http://www.cygwin.com/; there are also ports of tcsh
ftp://ftp.blarg.net/users/amol/tcsh/ and others, I'm sure. For a real
editor see http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html;
numerous vi clones also probably run out of the box on NT; Perl for
windows comes prettily bundled from http://www.activestate.com if you
don't want the native source port.

The following links are unvalidated for recentness, but may be of use
as well for making Windows more bearable:

ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu/
http://www.nentug.org/unix-to-nt/
http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/

There are also utilites off of M$ for 'xmouse' or some such so you
don't have to use that accursed click-to-focus, focus-window-must-be-
on-top mode under windows that's only slightly less annoying than
typing with dashes-between-every-word-instead-of-spaces.

YMMV.

What's Ruby? Well, google said:

/me goes to read
