As far as I know, all of these tools are free unless otherwise noted. Use any ZIP program, such as WinZip or InfoZip’s FREE Unzip to extract the ZIP files. (Old) Disk & File Utilities BootPart Lets you create DOS and Win95 boot sectors for the NT Loader (NTLdr.exe). IT also lets you fix broken NT boot sectors. Very nice little freeware tool. For more information about NT Boot Sectors, you can check this direct boot page. delpart.exe Old Microsoft utility to delete partitions – ANY partitions. Great for removing NTFS partitions from a bootable DOS floppy, or for those times when FDisk confuses itself and will not let you remove an extended partition because it says there are logical drives, but when you try to delete the logical drives it says there aren’t any… dirmatch.com From PC Magazine, allows you to compare two different directories (see FreeCommander, below). Since this is so old (DIRMATCH 3.1 (c) 1989 Ziff Communications Co.) it doesn’t really work with long filenames. (If you have problems downloading try dirmatch.com.txt and rename it to remove the trailing .txt.) freeCommander A dual-pane file manager for all 32-bit windows platforms (i.e. 95/98/NT/2000). It is a free program, similar to an updated Norton Commander. Nicer and more current than 2xExplorer. 2xExplorer An obsolete dual-pane file manager for all 32-bit windows platforms (i.e. 95/98/NT/2000). It is a free program, similar to an updated Norton Commander. Use the previous one instead. mcopy.exe Copies only newer files. obslt10.zip Deletes files older than the date/time specified. Excellent for purging log and temp files, etc. UNIX Utilities for Windows FREE tools from 3Com Including 3CDaemon an Integrated TFTP/FTP/Syslog Daemon for Windows 95/98/NT. Win32-ports of tools with a GNU or similar open source license These are the “official” GNU Win32 ports. GNU utilities for Win32 Really awesome “native” Win32 ports of some UNIX tools. Native in this context means that no emulation layer (e.g. CygWin) is needed. This avoids a lot a installation complexity. With these native tools, you unzip ’em and run ’em! 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. David’s Programs and Source Code UNIX or UNIX-like tools, including cat.exe, bin2bmp.exe, bmpdump.exe, detab.exe, diskuse.exe, ebcdic.exe, entab.exe, fsplit.exe, fstat.exe, gifdump.exe, hdump.exe, head.exe, reboot.com, scram.exe, scram.doc, snow.exe, tcopy.exe, tee.exe, tod.com, unicode.exe, uniq.exe, vdate.exe, vecho.com, vfind.exe, whence.exe, wordc.exe Mountain Math Software’s port of GNU Bash to Windows NT. It it listed as a beta, and for Windows 3.51, but it runs under NT 4. I have not tested it much though. See the Readme.txt or download the archive (~ 1.7 meg). Licensed under GNU (free), and stand alone (i.e. does not need DJGPP or CygWin). tcsh Free GNU, stand alone (i.e. does not need DJGPP or CygWin). Read the Readme.NT. pgrep.com DOS port of a version of the grep command. Can handle “|” under DOS/Windows. DOS2UNIX.COM & UNIX2DOS.COM (from The free Win32 software page at BASTET.COM) Convert CRLF to LF and LF to CRLF respectively. While the programs above are ports of various UNIX tools, the next four items are complete UNIX environments for the PC. DJGPP is older, and has not been updated too much (not that it needs it). DJ Delorie went to work on the Cygwin project after he wrote DJGPP. Both environments are very cool! I don’t know too much about the other two, and have never used them.
