Their installers do things the "Windows Way", and all of the bins are in one directory, so you only have to add one path to your system environment to get all the utilities to work without specifying a path. Their collection is quite large, and includes command line tools as well as programming libraries.

Great solution for "porting to Windows".<br /><br />Quite interesting, last month I had to provide a script for Windows too*, and I combined Visual Basic Script, VBA (Excel), AutoIt (comes with Scite!), MSDOS-batch (comes with "findstr", a Windows-clone of grep it seems) and awk.exe and sed.exe from UnxUtils.<br /><br />"Why?" you may ask. Simple put, because it consists of completely portable components, so it doesn't require anything to be installed at all. Moreover, AutoScripts can be compiled to .exe's, nowadays this is done by default.<br /><br />Of course, I had PortablePython as a backup, but I didn't use it.<br /><br />So it's surprising to see there's a whole other way to do this!<br /><br />*The script was: Concatenate .xls files of certain directories, insert filename and do some filtering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
