In response to the discussion about porting Unix shells (like scsh) to
NT, I would recommend that anyone interested check out gnu-win32, a C
library hack to provide a Unix-like environment for Windows NT (and
95). It provides a translation between the Unix system call API and
the win32 system calls, handling lots of tricky issues like
text/binary mode and file system mapping. They've already ported bash
(with command line editing, even) and most of the GNU text/file/shell
utilities.
If you want to use scsh as scsh under win32, gnu-win32 is the way to
go.
It's available from cygnus' web page and ftp site (www.cygnus.com).
