Obtaining Korn Shell

Korn Shell Plus

KornShell Plus is an operating environment, not an operating system. It works like any other application running on your computer. The common operating environment makes it possible to write shell scripts and ensure portability between operating systems ranging from the Amdahl UTS to the Windows NT.

U/Win Overview

U/WIN®, the Common Operating Environment for UNIX and Windows. U/WIN provides a solution suite containing KornShell Plus and the KornShell Plus SDK for Unix and Windows.

U/WIN means significant cost savings for software development, maintenance and support.

The true value of the U/WIN solution suite is that it empowers developers and coders to create portable shell scripts and application code more quickly, more easily and more efficiently than ever before. No more need to write, maintain, and support different versions of software that contain operating system specific code.

MKS Toolkit

Korn shell and other unix tools and utilities for Windows NT and 95.

Cygwin - Linux-like environment for Windows

Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:

• A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
• A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.
