Shell scripts, except for the most trivial examples, call external
programs. There's likely a whole bunch of stuff you need (ls, grep,
awk, sed, head, ...).


If the script isn't too tricky and if you feel brave, you may be able
to convert the shell script to a DOS batch file. See
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/http2.html#batch for a large list of
online batch file programming pages. Batch files we a dying breed
before advanced languages like Java came along and made them necessary
again. I can't recommend any one page in particular - I think I'm
like most programmers that get done what is necessary in .bat files
and then leaves well enough alone.
