Is there an xterm equivalent application for Windows? It would be able to run generic DOS programs with stdin, stdout, stderr all mapped properly, e.g. grep. Eric Hughes hughes@ocf.berkeley.edu

I did not make myself clear in this posting. 1) I am looking for a Windows application, not a DOS program that will run under Windows. This rules out COMMAND.COM. (I know how to invoke command.com and swap it back and forth--that's not what I'm looking for.) 2) I consider this a programming tool in the same class as make, grep, and lint, i.e. basic. 3) I don't need the capability to launch Windows applications, nor ill-behaved DOS programs (esp. direct screen writes). 4) Output would appear in a window with all the other windows, in a system-standard font. I'm not yet familiar enough with Windows to know if such a thing could exist. Enlightenment? Eric Hughes hughes@ocf.berkeley.edu

That's what I did and I use the DOS window just like I use an Xterm window.
