 Tool Warehouse - for SFU 3.5 Beta
Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 BETA is now available for public download from Microsoft's SFU 3.5 Beta Download site.  To complement the Beta release, we are making available a selection of tools ported to version 3.5 of Interix.  Note that the following tools may not work with SFU 3.0; likewise, the 3.0 tools may not work with 3.5.  So it is best not to mix and match. 

To avoid confusion, the 3.5 tools are in their own repository at ftp.interopsystems.com/beta.
We are continuing to add to the tools for 3.5 Beta on a regular basis.  If you have any particular requests or would like to contribute to the repository, please email .  If you would like to be notified about new additions, please subscribe to the Tool Warehouse Updates Forum for automatic email notifications.
