Excellent, useful and essential to me for decades whenever I realize I am using windows not Unix but require certain things which should be a core component of ANY OS, for example, grep... I mean, how do you live without that? Honestly, how do you live without apropos or cat or awk or... ALL OF THE STANDARD UNIX stuff... perhaps I am just a fool for thinking this way. However, I have been told by many people (once they discover Linux or BSD or some flavor of Unix, even the terminal in Mac-OS...) that they only use windows (Microsoft) operating systems when absolutely necessary... such as a client uses it and the argument to switch is not worth the effort. For anyone who has attempted to explain Unix/Linux to a Windows only person... you know what I mean. Point-and-Click stuff is ALL they know and anything else is considered LESS or inferior. Funny how the truth is so very polar+opposite to that entire concept... OK, yeah DOWNLOAD AND PLACE THESE TOOLS IN YOUR PATH. You will be happy. works on windows 10 pro 64bit

I use it whenever I need to restore my sanity on Windows w/o diving into cygwin madness or mingw

So far, these unix commands work well in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit which is a relief given MS and their "show me the money" unix utilities cannot be installed unless I upgrade to a non-existent Windows 7 Ultimate release. So thank you very much for these as my decades old batch files continue to live on for several more years I hope.
