UNIX Tools for Windows

These batch scripts roughly translate common UNIX and Linux commands into their Windows equivalent. Ultimately I created these scripts because I work primarily on UNIX systems and got tired of getting errors when I typed simple UNIX commands (cat, ifconfig, grep, etc) on my Windows machine.

NOTE: These are rough equivalents, sometimes very rough, but should work for any user who works on both UNIX/Linux and Windows platforms.

If you find errors let me know, depending on how difficult the fix is I may get to it! (One thing I learned quickly was that there simply is no one-to-one equivalent for every command or even every command option!)
