### Win32 hosted tools (start-sdk.bat)

The Win32 hosted tools are identical to the 32-bit DOS hosted tools, however they are native Win32 tools and hence can support long filenames properly under Windows 9x and Windows NT/2000/XP. The Win32 tools usually runs slower than the DOS hosted tools on Windows 9x, but significantly faster on Windows NT/2000/XP. Unless you need long filenames, you may want to stick with the DOS hosted tools for Windows 9x environments. By default the startup scripts will automatically detect the host platform and use the Win32 tools for Windows NT/2000/XP and the DOS tools for Windows 9x.
