I have used cygwin and it does work. It emulates Linux. It's similar to 
shelling out to DOS, except you shell out to a Linux prompt and command 
line environment. It's been a long time since I've used it and it was 
loaded on a different computer running on a Windows 98 OS. I think the 
files were simply thrown into a C:/cygwin directory. Pretty simple to use. 
Just click, and there you are at a command line prompt which is waiting for 
you to do something. You'll need to learn the Linux commands (for what you 
want to do), switches, and a few misc. items (like piping files into 
executables, etc.). It's not difficult, just a little different in how it's 
done.
