Hi Martijn, Rob pointed out MSYS as a replacement for COMMAND.COM (or is it CMD.COM with WinME?). Two other excellent shell options: Cygwin's bash shell (www.cygwin.com) JPSoft's 4DOS shell (www.jpsoft.com) Personally, I like Cygwin's bash shell. JPSoft's 4DOS was sold with Norton Utilites as NDOS once-upon-a-time. Also available as 4NT and 4OS2 shells. Cygwin's bash shell is very Unix-y. JPSoft's 4DOS shell is like COMMAND.COM on steroids. I use them both. Cygwin''s bash shell is priced right, JPSoft's 4DOS costs a little money (which I've paid, for 4NT ... I liked it that much!). I haven't used MSYS. HTH, --Eljay
