Re: UNIX utilities for Windows ?


If you're using bash, the "type" builtin will probably tell you everything
that "which" will.  You are interested in knowing which directory in your
PATH contains the program you're launching, I'm guessing.  For me, if I type
"type bash", it returns:

bash is /e/CYGNUS/CYGWIN-B20/USR/BIN/bash

As far as the -t flag to sort goes, I do see a -t in the --help output.  Are
you sure you aren't picking up the DOS sort or something?  According to
sort --help, that option seems to allow you to specify the delimiter.  The
version in the basic Cygwin distribution seems to be from textutils 1.22,
which appears to be the latest version on the ftp.gnu.org site.

Hope this helps!
- Ken.
