Unix environment for Windows?
A reader writes:
"At the end of TYU24, you mention MKS as a Windows-based shell. I checked their website as an avenue of learning Unix/Linux without resorting to dual-boots, or multiple systems (I'm a little short on space to accomidate another tower, and short on cash to build a new micro). While they do offer evaluation versions, and educational discounts, they are still a little steep on the price range. Is there another package that may follow GPL (GNU Public License) or maybe a more cost effective package for home use?"

UWIN by wipro technologies is an execllent and free unix environment for windows computers. It is based on ATT unix and was developed by David Korn of thte Korn shell fame. I use it all the time at work and can write shell scripts in HPUX and transfer it to my UWIN environment and run it without worring about syntax.
