    <p>I am trying to put together a portable set of files/scripts that will enable me to mimic a unix like environment on Windows.</p> <p>I do not want to install anything. The setup needs to be able to live on a thumbdrive for example. Currently I am using <a href="http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">UnxUtils</a> to provide grep, and more. Im adding these to the Windows PATH environment variable in the current console session by</p> <pre><code>cd &lt;pathToUnxUtils&gt; path = %PATH%;%CD% </code></pre> <p>For Vim (my preferred editor) I am using the "Win32 console executable" (<a href="http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc" rel="noreferrer">http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc</a>) vim.exe. If I have that in a drive such as \vim\vim73\vim.exe then $VIMRUNTIME is \vim\vim73, which is where my vimrc lives.</p> <p>I am trying to get some syntax highlighting and indenting going next, which I believe I need to add the appropriate .vim scripts to $VIMRUNTIME\syntax and $VIMRUNTIME\indent but it does not seem to work.</p> <p>I am using the console executible instead of something like gVim (which probably does more of what I want "out-of-the-box") because I want to be able to send commands to the same shell using the ! command. gVim does not allow that (correct me if I am wrong)</p> <p>Lastly, has anyone experienced trouble with "tail" from UnxUtils working on Vista?</p> <p>I know this probably seems like a stupid way to go about things, but I am really trying to make this work. Id be happy with getting these bits of Unix goodness going on Windows.</p> <p>Thanks for any help</p>
