I've mentioned these tools before in more detail [1,2] (with [2] ironically in another reply to one of Mike's posts :), but it's worth it to do again. http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ Stand-alone, Windows native .exe files. These are *great*! No installer, no DLLs, nothing but sort,cut,grep,awk,sed,date.exe, and much more. You'll want to rename date.exe to udate or gdate or something so you don't collide with the built-in date command. See also gclip/pclip which allow reading and writing the clipboard from the command line. The only downside is that these have not been updated in a long time. They usually Just Work, though I have encountered a few bugs in date.exe, which I use quite a lot. For a lot more tools and details, see [1].
