    Hi will this GNU mv work in Windows systems too?

    Couldn't spot a GNU mv.exe at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html, though there could well be an mv.exe in one of those packages.

    Both Cygwin and MSYS do provide an mv.exe for Windows.

      mv is part of the GNU fileutils (aka coreutils) package. Hence, it's listed.
