TheGnuWin32 project provides nativeports in the form of executable computer programs, patches, andsource code for variousGNU andopen source tools and software, much of it modified to run on the32-bitWindows platform. The ports included in the GnuWin32 packages are:

• GNU utilities such asbc,bison,chess,Coreutils,diffutils,ed,Flex,gawk,gettext,grep,Groff,gzip,iconv,less,m4,patch,readline, rx,sharutils,sed,tar,texinfo,units,Wget,which.
• Archive management and compression tools, such as:arc,arj,bzip2,gzip,lha,zip,zlib.
• Non-GNU utilities such as: cygutils,file,ntfsprogs,OpenSSL,PCRE.
• Graphics tools.
• PDCurses.
• Tools for processing text.
• Mathematical software and statistics software.

Most programs have dependencies (typicallyDLLs), so that the executable files cannot simply be run in Windows unless files they depend upon are available. An alternative set of ported programs isUnxUtils; these are usually older versions, but depend only on theMicrosoftC-runtimemsvcrt.dll.

There is a package maintenance utility, GetGnuWin32, to download and install or update current versions of all GnuWin32 packages.^[1]
