Excellent, useful and essential to me for decades whenever I realize I am using windows not Unix but require certain things which should be a core component of ANY OS, for example, grep... I mean, how do you live without that? Honestly, how do you live without apropos or cat or awk or... ALL OF THE STANDARD UNIX stuff... perhaps I am just a fool for thinking this way. However, I have been told by many people (once they discover Linux or BSD or some flavor of Unix, even the terminal in Mac-OS...) that they only use windows (Microsoft) operating systems when absolutely necessary... such as a client uses it and the argument to switch is not worth the effort. For anyone who has attempted to explain Unix/Linux to a Windows only person... you know what I mean. Point-and-Click stuff is ALL they know and anything else is considered LESS or inferior. Funny how the truth is so very polar+opposite to that entire concept... OK, yeah DOWNLOAD AND PLACE THESE TOOLS IN YOUR PATH. You will be happy. works on windows 10 pro 64bit
I can understand in principle the remark about this being old and unmaintained but I could not find the w32 package referenced in the comment, only "GnuWin32" (I assume that was the one intended) which is here at sourceforge - however that package appears not to contain the date.exe utility which is in UnxUtils, at a glance the only date utility visible being one to print the date in Latin(!) The point of interest in UnxUtils for me is the aforesaid date.exe 38.5KB modified 10/10/2000 00:00, MD5: 5e978ec5f615396eaa1b14334197b68e which I found worked fine in a batch file on Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 for the purpose for which I downloaded it namely to add the file's date/time attributes to its filename.
very useful project, thanks
I use it whenever I need to restore my sanity on Windows w/o diving into cygwin madness or mingw Read more reviews >
