where to download grep, awk, sed, ls for Windows environment?
I'm used to UNIX commands such as grep, awk, sed, ls, cat, diff and so forth. I would like to run similar commands in the shell in Windows, when I open up "cmd" on Windows XP. I don't want to have to install cygwin to do this.
Is there a site that I can download these UNIX commands (that run in the Windows environment) as "free shareware" ? Thanks.

A full install of Cygwin will give you a *nix like environment, shell and all, inside a Windows desktop.
