Thanks for the clarification. MSDOS code would present challenges in porting to an NT environment.

I ran Services for Unix at one point, and also ran Cygwin and AT&T's UWIN package that Dr. David Korn developed. These days I run a set of the Gnu utilities built "native" for Win32 with MinGW. I never encountered the early OpenNT flavor.

ETA: I should also add that some of the people acquired when MS bought out Softway Systems ended up being key in the development of PowerShell, for which I am still a Microsoft MVP.

I've looked at PowerShell, but haven't done a lot with it so far. I'm intrigued by the notions of manipulating fully qualified .NET objects in scripts, but thus far haven't needed to do it.
