- zapman449 14y agoGOW seems to be more focused on a userland environment, whereas mingw is focused on enabling developers to link against unix libraries in a windows environment. Sure there's msggrep, and msgfilter as userland in mingw, but GOW gives you direct access to 'ls', 'gfind', 'grep', etc, and doesn't care a fig about giving access to libz.
