Andrew also reports on a Linus emulator for Windows.UWIN: This
first link is a Unix-like environment that sits on top of Windows
created at AT&T labs and the guy who created the Korn shell. Its great-
it gives you a real Unix shell and file system (emulated on top of
windows FS.) Even better, it comes with all the Unix utilites and lets
you build most any Unix (i.e. posix) source code to run on windows.
Also it plays very nicely with Microsoft Visual C++...

Once you have UWIN up and running, here's the gcc you need for it.
