I suppose that your comment below about the relative number of hits for Unix
tools on windows vs my non serious equivalent illustrates the point I was
trying, and for at least some, failing to make. There does seem to be a
tendency for many in IT (maybe everywhere) to try to bend a system to fit
the way in which they are used to working rather than to learn how to use
the different system differently. Generally this is a recipe for pain and
frustration, I'd imagine that most folk on this list would find a developer
who by default made every table an IOT based on the table's pk a bit odd,
yet for someone coming from MSSQL that would be quite a natural thing to do.
The systems behave differently and best results are found by using them
differently. Incidentally some but not all of the tools referred to are in
the windows server resource kit which you may find an easier time getting
admins to install, many will have done it as part of a standard server
build.

This might help http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/unix_for_dos_users.html
but a Google search shows nothing in the "windows commands on UNIX" but
a hell of a lot of "UNIX commands in windows".
Cheers,
Norman.
