One such package that is free for educational, research, and evaluation purposes is David Korn's U/WIN with the gnu compiler and development tools. It even does hard links and symbolic links. See http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/ I tried to bring up zsh on u/win and failed. It's not in the compilation, but in the stuff before that, which is pretty hairy, and I thought maybe there is someone on this list who knows that stuff pretty well and would be willing to take a shot. Imagine: a full-blown up-to-the-minute zsh along with the rest of the unix and gnu toolset to make Windows or NT more hospitable! Thanks Dave
