    Hey Nobody!

    BusyBox v1.38.0.git (2026-01-22 08:55:52 UTC) multi-call binary.
    BusyBox is copyrighted by many authors between 1998-2015.
    Licensed under GPLv2. See source distribution for detailed
    copyright notices.

    Usage: busybox [function [arguments]...]
    or: busybox --list[-full]

    or: function [arguments]...

    BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
    utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a
    link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
    will act like whatever it was invoked as.

    bzcat, bzip2, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cksum, cmp,

    What's the problem? Doesn't busybox "think" like Linux?

    Hey August!

    What's the problem?

    No problem that I am aware of at the moment.

    Doesn't busybox "think" like Linux?

    No it doesn't think at all. All the DOS-think applied was on my part using a couple of the busybox functions to pull it off. Does the win32 version of busybox think for you?

    I believe the subject line says it all.
