So you can install Perl on Windows and then solve the problem. I am asking him whether he considers that "installing Unix tools". The argument for is that Perl deliberately borrows a lot of its design from a number of Unix tools. The argument against is that there has been a native version of Perl for Windows for many years now. (In fact since Perl 5.005, Windows has been a core target.) One could easily ask the same question naming other scripting languages such as Python and Ruby.

(or put perl etc on windows to do same) thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep
