One-binary file with lots of Unix commands
article #1089, updated 2640 days ago

If you download swiss.exe from here:

https://github.com/minoca/swiss/releases

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:

https://github.com/minoca/swiss

It is also its own shell.

Excellent new web browser: Slimjet
article #860, updated 2985 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.
