[planetscape]

In (rough) order of preference:

Perl Power Tools

Cygwin

The Berkeley Utilities - 40 unix commands ported to DOS

GNU utilities for Win32

Unix Utils for DOS

CMD Line Tools for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP

cat.c from p. 154 of the Kernighan and Ritchie text

HTH,

Update: 2006-09-14 It would seem, however, that several of those links are b0rk, so this should be the updated version:

• Cygwin
• The Berkeley Utilities - 40 unix commands ported to DOS
• GNU utilities for Win32
• Unix Utils for DOS
• CMD Line Tools for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
• Batch File Utilities

Update: 2009-11-16 :

• Perl Power Tools
• Cygwin
• The Berkeley Utilities - 40 unix commands ported to DOS (WFM)
• GNU utilities for Win32
  • UnxUtils.zip
  • UnxUpdates.zip
• Unix Utils for DOS
• Unix Utils for DOS (alt)
• Unix Utils for DOS (requires eMule to retrieve)
• CMD Line Tools for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP

Many thanks to toolic and pmonk4ever for alerting me to various problems with the prior version!
