My XP system has the GNU utilities for Win32, Micro$oft Services For Unix, and Cygwin installed...
Doing likewise and adjusting things accordingly will usually alleviate many problems of using unix commands on NT, although I've yet to find a solution to trying to use a 'dir /b' command on a system expecting /bin/ls program instead ^_^
I would think in a commercial environment just buying a DOS quick reference (or better yet one for newer versions of NT) would be a better solution then, say carting gnucky fried utilities around on a thumb drive.
