Microsoft has today made the latest version of its UNIX interoperability product, Windows Services for UNIX Version 3.5 available for download. SFU 3.5 offers customers enhanced performance of cross-platform tools and services, better UNIX command-line administration capabilities, and the ability to extend UNIX-based applications in a Microsoft .NET environment.
SFU includes more than 300 UNIX utilities and tools that behave as they would on UNIX systems, plus an SDK that supports more than 1,900 UNIX APIs and migration tools, including make, rcs, yacc, lex, cc, c89, nm, strip, gbd, as well as the gcc, g++, and g77 compilers.
SFU also includes the enhanced Interix subsystem that provides a UNIX environment that runs on top the Windows kernel, enabling UNIX application and scripts to run natively on the Windows platform alongside Windows applications.
