CYGWIN, I believe, allows some native Linux programs to run on a Windows
machine, as WINE allows some Windows programs to run on a Linux machine. By
native I mean a simple copy of the binary executable file transferred from
one machine to the other. There may well be other shells/emulators that
permit this kind of functionality, but these are the ones I know of.
