Linux tools for Windows XP ? du,head,tail,cat,grep,etc.
 

Without resorting to installing Cygwin.. are there native windows xp tools available like the linux command line tools: du, head, tail, cat, grep, etc.. ?

here is a command line reference for XP at the microsoft site

oops, i should read the posts better


cygwin is the best though

Ditto that. Cygwin works great. If you put the cygwin path as the first reference in your PATH variable, all those commands are available from the dos prompt as well.
