Why don't you just install the shell itself (bash, ksh, etc)?

cygwin will install a set of tools on your PC that include several shells.

If, for some reason, you don't want to install cygwin either, you can find KSH for Windows and probably bash as well. Otherwise, you'll have to crack open the books and pretend. Smilie

And by the way, posting the same message in more than one forum is against the rules.

You should have a llok at MKS Toolkit. This is a set of tools that will emulate Unix/Linux comnmand line under Windows. Very nice to test your script before using them live on your UNIX box.
