Hi Fellow Windows Prisoners
I'm using winGrass 6.4RC6 and having trouble with some of the commands
shown in help documentation and I suspect it's because I'm using
Windows and not *nix.
For example, when I try to run a command such as:
eval `cat VTL2733.XYZ | r.in.xyz -s -g in=- fs=space out=test`
I get the error:
'eval' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file'
Can someone help me to fix this?
If the answer is to install Cygwin, is it possible to specify which part?
Thanks
Hanlie

The above command uses Bourne shell syntax. On Windows, you can use
MSys, which may already be bundled with the GRASS installer (if not,
you can get it via http://mingw.org/wiki/MSYS ). The shell is called
"sh.exe".

Cygwin is overkill if you just need the shell.
