You can also get the suite of GNU tools for Windows from the Free Software
Foundation: <http://www.gnu.org/order/windows.html>. The version I have
comes with a short book (100 pages or so) and a cd-rom full of Unix tools
like the ones listed above; the newer version also has the Gimp, as well
as (presumably) newer versions of everything else. Very useful...
