Thanks Colin. That sounds like a good approach - creating windows verions of the unix commands that is.
I might be able to pull that off without making a full time job of getting these tools running on UV/Windows. Unfortunately, I just discovered some code that tries to create temp files for each user 'on-the-fly' using unix commands to delete, create and move these temp files around so I'll have to sort all that stuff out and I just keep finding more and more little "gotcha's" about trying to get this rig to fly on UV/Windows but I'm gonna persist at it for a few days at least and see if I can get it to run. joe > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfke, Colin > Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 3:03 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] Software development - MVTools > > Sorry, I haven't used MVTools.
