Cygwin ???

• Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows.
  It consists of two parts
• A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API
  emulation layer providing substantial Linux API
  functionality.
• A collection of tools which provide Linux look
  and feel.
• The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent,
  commercially released x86 32 bit and 64 bit
  versions of Windows, with the exception of
  Windows CE

DOWNLOADING Cygwin

• Download cygwin from
• http//www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
• Run setup.exe any time you want to update or
  install a Cygwin package.
• Note that, when installing packages for the first
  time, setup.exe does not install every package.
  Only the minimal base packages from the Cygwin
  distribution are installed by default.
