Programming

Juz a question: besides using telnet to program Shells scripts like korn,bourne,bash,C
is there other ways to actaully program shell scripts?

You can program your scripts in Windows Notepad for all you like but it needs an incarnation of a UNIX shell to run. That does not particularly mean that you need a UNIX system, alot of the UNIX shells have been ported to the other OS's: Windows, OS/2. However you are likely to find gaps in functionality when using a UNIX shell other than on a true UNIX system.

Thanx Patvdv for replying
Anyway,where and how can i actually port this shell??

What patvdv means by "port", means it's been written to act very similarly to the original, but has been "re-programmed" to work on other systems. In this case, a shell that was written for Unix has been rewritten to work on Windows systems. All you have to do is to download and install it.

A few examples of Unix-like tools on Windows:

There are more out there, you just have to search for them. I recommend here:

awk, nawk, perl, txt control, etc
