If you download swiss.exe from here:

you can copy it to rm.exe, cat.exe, and many other names, to give you Unix-syntax commands under Windows. This includes the ability to handle forward slashes. A full list is here:

Excellent new web browser: Slimjet
article #860, updated 2716 days ago

This is a new one, both Windows and Linux. Based on Chromium, the core of Chrome. Amazingly fast and efficient. Includes recent Adobe Flash, in both 32-bit and 64-bit. This is very probably the fastest and most efficient 32-bit browser with Flash in the world right now.
