UWIN is very much like cygwin in being a "Unix on Windows" environment. However, it is not based on GNU but is Real Unix code from AT&T Bell Labs. Many of the utilities are simply the latest versions of the original Version 7 Unix utilities, others are from BSD, System III and System V. The shell is genuine ksh93, not pdksh or bash/dash. There is a POSIX dll to provide a complete POSIX api. This is AT&T's own, not the "POSIX subsystem" from Microsoft. The cc command is a wrapper for Visual C, gcc or whatever you have. Instead of the usual autoconf..configure..make..make install dance you can use nmake. I can run the usual Windows context with a bit of fiddling but it would be nice to use the regular setuptex shell script et. al. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
