[SGVLUG] [Sclug] Copying directory trees in WINDOWS (ugh!)

[Bryan Backer]

I have a work PC on which I must run windows. I've
found that using cygwin in my windows environment
lets me use familiar tools (cp -r, tar, scp -r, dd, etc)
on pesky windows file, or whole trees.

Consider installing the cygwin tools in the windows
partition for times you're forced to be there.
