Win-Brash is a recoding, from scratch, of the Bourne shell as a native Microsoft Windows multi-threaded command line application.
It uses Bourne shell syntax but recognizes Windows file names. The TAB key helps convert Unix style pathnames to fully valid windows pathnames. It also adds missing backslashes -- to reduce the need to always type two.

To give brash.exe a try, use the download link to get winbrash-1.2.16.zip. Unzip it, then follow the directions in the bin/README.txt file.
Note: The .bashrc file defines several script functions for your use and to serve as examples.
Other script examples can be found in the Discussion/Programming Examples forum. Anonymous users can currently create new topics of discussion -- hopefully it can be kept that way.
