I agree that cygwin would make it easy.
Another fairly easy way to do it is to use a macro in any word processor 
and have it add 'psexec \\' at the beginning of every line and
' degfrag c:\' at the end of every line.  Then save.

I used to do stuff like that in WordPerfect.  Actually, it was quite 
amazing what you could do with WP5.1.  Also, it allowed me to use emacs- 
style keystrokes.
