Jeremy,

I use Cygwin for this sort of stuff. It does a pretty good impression
of BASH, even if it is a bit of a monster in terms of size (it also
supports X11 which is where, I suspect, the extra weight comes from).
I've never tried to run IDL through it, though, I suspect there's a
lot of headaches down that path!
It'd be fine for running a script through, although possibly trying to
get it to mount all the windows directories stored in IDL's !path
would be fun! :-)

Regards,
Chris
