in reply to OT: how to run the script perl/tk program in windows system

If I've understood correctly there are two questions here.

The first is that you have a program that resides on a Unix machine and you would like to run it from a Windows workstation.

I'd recommend to use a software like VMWare. The only caveat is that if I'm not mistaken VMWare is a commercial (paid) software. A free one is VNC, but I don't know if you can run a server on a system and a client on another (probably not).

The second is about "mounting" a Unix filesystem on a Windows machine. I really encourage you to follow Grygonos's advice. Samba is a really great software and once is installed it runs smoothly.

Hope it helps.

    VNC and VMWare are two different things. VMWare emulates an i386 type system, enabling you to 'install' a Windows inside a linux box, or vice versa. VNC is just a means of remote connection to an existing, running machine. (And thus is most useful as client on one machine, server on another.)

    Caveat: They may have added functionality since I last looked, but if that includes emulation, I'd be surprised.

    C.

      True, castaway. I've made a little mess in my reply. I intended to recommend VMWare so he could install a windows inside his linux box and run it from there.

      Thanks for pointing it out :)
