It works ok on my Win 7 Prof. 64-bit. Put the unziped UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin in front of %PATH%, then all the usual unix commands (i.e. ls, which, uname, du, sleep,..) work as expected in the Command Prompt window.

Any news on whether this will work on a 64-bit operating system ?

can this program support multibyte characters, say, Chinese characters? I tried on my desktop, it give me “????”…

I have those utilities that worked fine with 2k, xp.
(I usually put all the *.exe in c:\bin, then I edit
the PATH variable by putting ‘c:\bin;’ at the beginning)

But with vista, after I type in any command in my shell
console (even a simple ls) it crashes.

On the shortcut I use for zsh.exe (I have c:\bin\zsh.exe -i
in the command line) I checked the compatibility with xp
but it didn’t solve anything.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

Hello,

does the GNU utilities work with the 64-bit version of Windows server 2003?

Thanks,
Karl
