That works fine.  But it isn't what I wanted.  I'm trying to get some of the
common Unix commands available under Windows.  And I want them to work like
they do on the Unix command line.

And, before anyone suggests it, I can't download any tools from the net or
buy any packages.  My corporation is paranoid to an extreme.  I can write
all the code I want but can't install someone elses without 'permission'.  

So I'm writing enough ruby to get by as I need a tool (I just started).
