Introduction 
Thank you for downloading Wipro UWIN 2.1, a Unix to Windows Migration Toolkit 
that gives you all the features of a traditional UNIX operating system on 
Windows NT and Windows 95/98. This README document provides installation and 
usage information and a quick introduction to the UWIN product range. 
This release of UWIN supports new functionality and new libraries and utilities. 
It has an improved performance, and provides better interoperability with other 
filesystems such as Samba.  Features of UWIN also include pipes, hard file 
links, UNIX networking, and UNIX graphical support through the X Window System. 
It also provides UNIX and POSIX.2 utilities such as Ksh, awk, and vi. The UWIN 
environment is a User-mode rutime library, which works over the Win32 
sub-system. Shell scripts and other scripted applications that use UNIX and 
POSIX.2 utilities will run under UWIN. Support is also provided for work on a 
Windows NT system remotely through a Telnet Session.

UWIN Application Development Support 
UWIN also includes Unix application development support for Windows NT. You will 
need Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0/5.0/6.0 compiler to develop applications on UWIN. 
You can use cc compiler to develop applications on UWIN. Other build tools 
include make/gmake (GNU make tool), nmake (AT&T nmake tool), etc. 
=============================================================================
System Requirements 
    Intel x86, Pentium, Pentium Pro and compatible systems 
    Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or higher (Workstation or Server)/Microsoft Windows 
    95/98 
    Microsoft Visual C/C++ 4.0 or higher (optional for development kits) 
    25 -100 MB of available hard-disk space (preferably on a NTFS partition) 
    Windows supported CD-ROM drive (optional) 
(Note that packages require more disk space on a FAT file system than on an NTFS 
file system) 
UWIN does not essentially require a NTFS partition. You can install UWIN on a 
FAT partition as well.  However, you will not get full POSIX features (e.g., 
file links, security) on a FAT system though.  Case sensitive file names and 
file links are only available on NTFS partitions.

Wipro UWIN  Product line 

Wipro UWIN comes with a wide range of products to cater the needs of the users. 
They are 

Wipro UWIN  - Base Toolkit 
Wipro UWIN Base Toolkit provides a Unix environment on Windows NT/9x platforms. 
It is a comprehensive set of Unix command shells and utilities. This toolkit 
also includes over 300 Unix shell tools and utilities. Also included in this 
toolkit are many Unix inet clients and daemons. Documentation in Unix nroff 
format is provided for each of the utilities. 

Wipro UWIN  - SDK 
Wipro UWIN UWIN SDK adds application development support on UWIN. UWIN SDK 
includes system header files and libraries that are required for general purpose 
Unix application development on Windows. More than 300 Unix header files are 
provided with this SDK and they have been revised to enable the use of either 
Visual C++ or GNU C compilers. UWIN SDK has over 60 commonly used Unix shared 
libraries. UWIN SDK also provides a cc compiler, which is a wrapper over the 
native Windows compiler, like Visual C++ or Borland C/C++ compilers. 
Documentation in Unix nroff format is provided for each of the Unix APIs and 
development tools. 

Wipro UWIN  - Runtime 
Wipro UWIN Runtime is a set of libraries providing Unix API support on Windows. 
It is required for executing UWIN applications on Windows systems that do not 
have UWIN Base Toolkit installed. Users who have developed applications on UWIN 
or migrated existing Unix applications to Windows using UWIN would require the 
UWIN Runtime to deploy these applications on Windows systems, without the need 
for installing the complete UWIN software. Wipro provides a customized version 
of UWIN Runtime that caters to individual requirements of customers. 

Wipro UWIN - ADD-ON 
Along with UWIN Base Toolkit, UWIN SDK and UWIN Runtime, Wipro also makes 
available various Unix applications migrated to Windows using UWIN. Some of the 
add-on software are ported and maintained by Wipro and its associates. Support 
is available for these applications. They are: 
    X11R6.4 client libraries and utilities 
    X11R6.4 application development kit 
    Mesa 3.0 with Glut 3.7 
    Xpm for X11 
    Tiff, Jpeg, Gif and Png libraries 
    GNU Dll tools 
    Lesstif libs with MOTIF 1.2 and 2.0 compatibility 
    Other ported Unix applications like Apache, Vim, Lynx are available.
