Well here is a little, tiny argument against windows:
Please replace/remove the C++ stuff yourself.

ACMD(do_playerlog)
{

FILE* f;


/*

 * This code just works on systems with the egrep command (UNIX)

 * It might be a security risk if you can't trust your gods (in
         * theory)

 * It produces a slight lag of the MUD when executed depending

 * on the size of the files in the log directory and the speed of

 * your computer. This command is helpful to immediately verify

 * if a DTrapped player who wants reimbursement

 */


if (!*argument)

{


send_to_char("Need playername.",ch);


return;

}


sprintf(buf,"egrep '%s' ../syslog > playercheck ; egrep '%s' =../log/* >> playe
rcheck",

        argument, argument);

system(buf);


f = fopen("playercheck","r");

fread(buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH-5,1,f);

buf[MAX(0,ftell(f))]=0;

fclose(f);


page_string(ch->getDescriptor(), buf, 1);
}

This command is very useful to allow gods to read the
bug and typo files:

ACMD(do_sysfile)
{

FILE* f;

char* cp;


if(*(argument+1)=='b') cp="misc/bugs";

else if(*(argument+1)=='t') cp="misc/typos";

else if(*(argument+1)=='i') cp="misc/ideas";

else return;


f = fopen(cp,"r");

fread(buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH-5,1,f);

buf[MAX(0,ftell(f))]=0;

fclose(f);


buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH-1]=0;

page_string(ch->getDescriptor(), buf, 1);
}
