using Linux shell in Windows

[BRT]

I've heard about somethign you can download to allow the use of a Linux shell such as bash (preferably bash) on Windows/NT. I'd like to find out what it's called (memory won't serve) and where to download it. Also, does it allow you to use g++ and gcc?
Thanx for any help.

It's called cygwin and has suite of unix/linux utils,programs that work under NT.I use it for compiling mozilla and ssh sessions to my linux box.For info/download details visit www.cygwin.com (http://www.cygwin.com) .Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for that link. I just installed it and ssh'ed into my server from Win2k. That is exactly what I needed for when I have to boot into windows. Thanks again.
