Unbuntu on the other hand is nice but I would prefer to remain in the Windows camp given my current investment in software. FM

Haven't tried any of them, but I've heard good things about GeoShell: http://www.geoshell.org and they're nice enough to link to a bunch of other free shell replacements: http://docs.geoshell.org/display/R4/Other+Replacement+Shells -- Jim Allison Usable Freeware - www.usablefreeware.com |
