This is a standalone executable allowing you to compile CoffeeScript files on Windows.
Download coffee.exe to your Windows directory (or any other directory in your %PATH%)

###Usage Same as the original coffee command:

-c, --compile       compile to JavaScript and save as .js files
-o, --output [DIR]  set the directory for compiled JavaScript
-j, --join [FILE]   concatenate the scripts before compiling
-b, --bare          compile without the top-level function wrapper
-v, --version       display CoffeeScript version
-h, --help          display a list of available options

If you specify a directory as a source, all .coffee files in that directory will be compiled recursively.

###Updating CoffeeScript

• Download latest coffee-script.js to the same directory as coffee.exe
• Check version: coffee --version

###Better solution

• Download Node.js executable for Windows: http://nodejs.org/#download

• Download CoffeeScript: http://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/tarball/master

• Create coffee.cmd in your Windows directory:

    @echo off
    "%PROGRAMFILES%/Node/node.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%/CoffeeScript/bin/coffee" %*
