Here are some ports of common GNU utilities to native Win32. In this context, native means the executables do only depend on the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin tools. Download: by http: UnxUtils.zip



by ftp: no FTP mirror at the moment latest updates (after 14-04-03): UnxUpdates.zip Source code: I have started an Open source project at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net. There is a CVS repository of all sources, even if the changes to the original GNU code are trivial. The repository can be accessed via anonymous CVS with the command

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/unxutils co unxutils

Note: The repository is not up-to-date at the moment, but will recover soon. The following program versions are covered: bc-1.05

bison-1.28

bzip2-1.0.2

diffutils-2.7

fileutils-3.16

findutils-4.1

flex-2.5.4

gawk-3.1.0

grep-2.4.2

gsar110

gzip-1.2.4

indent-2.2.9

jwhois-2.4.1

less-340

m4-1.4

make-3.78.1

patch-2.5

recode-3.6

rman-3.0.7

sed-3.02

shellutils-1.9.4

tar-1.12

textutils-2.1

unrar-3.00

wget-1.8.2

which-2.4 Standard behavior: forward as well as backward slashes in file paths are accepted. What is new: 10/28/00 Added AES-Rijndael encryption program. My version uses Dr Brian Gladman's implementation of the algorithm.

Usage:

aesy [-v] [-e] [-k String] input-file

-e : encrypt file, default is decrypt.

-k String : your secret key, don't forget it!



Notes: The key length is fixed to 256 bit at the moment. This is very alpha stage stuff, use it on your own risk (Download). 07/07/01 added John Walkers steganographic encryption program stego (public domain, Cryptography). As with all encryption programs, be careful. 05/11/02 updated dd.exe: now writes to physical devices. Use with care.

added unrar.exe: compiled from source code at http://www.rarlab.com.

added makedepend.exe from the X11 distribution.

14-04-03 New edition

The latest sources are here at the moment: zsh.zip

updated less.exe to v3.81 05-10-03 updated make to v3.80
