UnxUtils is a collection of utilityprograms that provide popularUnix-basedshellcommands – ported fromGNU implementations asnativeWindows programs that depend only onWin32 and theMicrosoftC-runtime (msvcrt.dll). The collection was last updated externally on April 15, 2003, by Karl M. Syring. As of December 2016[update], the most recent release was an open-source project atSourceForge, with the latest binary release in March, 2007 (though the files are dated 2000). The independent distribution included a mainziparchive (UnxUtils.zip, 3,365,638bytes) complemented by more recent updates (UnxUpdates.zip, 878,847 bytes, brought some binaries up to year 2003), but the SourceForge project has no UnxUpdates.zip package.
An alternative collection of Unix-based utilities for Windows isGnuWin32. It has later versions of many programs, but requires supporting files (e.g.DLLs).[1]
