[Gnu-arch-users] Re: Using win32 and unix questions

[Deliverable Mail]

I had success with the MS Unix Services for WIndows (SFU,
interix.com), also described in the wiki.  You get tla to compile
practically out of the box, with names as long as you like and
upgrades as fast as recompiling.  I specifically got SFU for tla, and
have an SFU shell open to run tla in it, when I need to.  There's
openssh/sftp there to get stuff over the network, and I also compiled
ssh.com in SFU.  I still do everything else in cygwin.
