I doubt that you have the egrep working either. You can't just shove a ksh script into a bat file and run it on windows. And what do you mean by "windows" anyway? There are more options available on XP pro then there are on XP Home. And Windows 95 would be a real problem. Assuming XP Pro, I see two paths available here:
1. Install a Unix style environment on your "windows" box. Look in our FAQ section for a discussion of all of the options we know about. I use Microsoft SFU on XP Pro and it works pretty well...but it only runs on XP Pro.

2. A complete rewrite in some language more commonly used on Windows. Using a bat file is possible but it is a stretch. I would probably go for VBscript running under WSH.

Arrange(1x)						   AfterStep X11 window manager 					       Arrange(1x)

NAME
Arrange - AfterStep module for arranging windows in a tiling or cascading order CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Arrange was developed to replace Tile and Cascade which were present in AfterStep 1.8 and stopped working with the introduction of After- Step 2.0. Like Tile and Cascade Arrange can be used to tile or cascade windows subject to certain constraints. By default Arrange will cascade windows located on the current screen. OPTIONS
-a Causes all window styles to be affected, even ones with the WindowListSkip style. -alldesks Causes windows on all desks to be effected. -desk Causes all windows on the desk to be cascaded instead of the current screen only. -H Causes windows to be tiled horizontaly. This will only have an effect if -tile is passed. -incx arg Specifies a horizontal increment which is successively added to arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen width, or pixel value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p. -incy arg Specifies a vertical increment which is successively added to arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen height, or pixel value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p. -m Causes maximized windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -mn arg Tiles up to arg windows in tile direction. If more windows exist, a new direction row or column is created (in effect, a matrix is created). -noraise Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact. -nostretch Inhibits window expansion when using the -resize option. Win- dows will only shrink to fit the maximal width and height (if given). -pattern arg Only arrange windows matching the supplied pattern. -r Reverses the window sequence. -resize Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height (if given). -s Causes sticky windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -t Causes transient windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -tile Causes windows to be tiled not cascaded. -u Causes untitled windows to also be affected (implied by -all). INVOCATION
Arrange can be invoked from the autoexec file or by binding the action "Module Arrange [args]" to a key-stroke in a feel file. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Command-line arguments passed to Arrange are described in the OPTIONS section. Up to four numbers can be placed on the command line that are not switches. The first pair specify an x and y offset to start the first window (default is 0, 0). The second pair specify an absolute coordi- nate reference denoting the lower right bounding box for tiling. If any number is suffixed with the letter p, then it is taken to be a pixel value, otherwise it is interpreted as a screen percentage. Speci- fying zero for any parameter is equivalent to not specifying it. This invocation will horizontally tile windows with a bounding box which starts at 10 by 10 percent into and down the screen and ends at 90 by 90 percent into and down the screen. Arrange 10 10 90 90 -tile -H It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are being arranged. 3rd Berkeley Distribution AfterStep v.2.2.11 Arrange(1x)
