[Simh] SUA + Windows 7....

[Jason Stevens]

Oh sorry ,it's the Services For Unix & Subsystem for UNIX-based
Applications....

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_Services_for_UNIX>Basically
Microsoft bought out Interix a while back, and it's a replacement for the
brain dead POSIX subsystem on Windows NT... SFU (the older one) will install
on Windows 2000, XP & 2003, while SUA is for 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, Windows 7
& 2008 R2...

It is faster then cygwin as it's a subsystem, not a stacked DLL...  It share
more in common with OpenBSD/NetBSD then anything else, but if you are on
windows it's worth playing with....

You can download SFU 3. 5 here:

SUA on the OS's that support it, you have to activate the "Subsystem for
UNIX-based Applications" in the control panel's "Turn Windows features on or
off"...

One of these days I'm going to have to try it's Visual Studio integration...
