Yes, if your needs are anything like mine.
I use Emacs on Win95 as a Java development environment. I use the gnuwin
version of bash as my command shell. I have written a bash shell script that
uses find and xargs to recursively tag a hierarchy of Java source files. This
script works perfectly under Win95, using the gnuwin versions of find and
xargs. I have also written and use a script based on the gnuwin version of
gawk on Win95. I am very pleased with gnuwin and am grateful to cygnus for
making it available.
