I think you can ignore me. I guess I meant: does MS Windows have a
/bin/sh equivalent? Does it have a stdout and stderr, and can "convert"
be called from this shell and send its output to stdout? Does it work
out of the box or does it need to be configured?
(No need to answer these questions for my sake.)
