Yes, as people have mentioned your options are: -Run the scripts with Cygwin, which will ensure that most system commands will be set up for you (if this is for general distribution, you can make it a system requirement, although that's a pretty heave system requirement to have). -Rewrite the UNIX commands yourself (or use those that others created already). Many of them are fairly easy to recreate, but some are more difficult. Obviously, rewriting Vi in Perl is stupid, but you can quite easily do things like ls, rm, etc.
