posix

I use posix some in networking and have just found out that XP ses a
form of posix. With psxss.exe, posix.exe and psxdll.dll xp seems to have a
posix subsystem. Now how to get to this? I have several compiler for my xp
but have never used the win32 API because it seems so foreign to me. At
first glance. How is posix used with winxp?
