The testing script was written in BASH (I believe) which does not have an interpreter for Windows (outside of Cygwin. However if you are inside Cygwin, you really aren't working with Windows any more.) Several other scripting languages do have interpreters for Windows: VBScript (d), JScript (d), PHP, Python, PERL, and more. (d) = installed by default. I think that the mysql testing script is being ported from BASH into PERL and when that happens you will have the ability to run it on any Windows system configured to run PERL scripts. Until then, we Win32 people just trust the binaries and avoid compiling our own copies unless we absolutely need to. Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine
