Hello,

     Being in the US, I wanted to configure tex/dvips to use US letter
paper rather than A4.  To do this, my understanding is that I need to
issue the following commands.

   texconfig dvips paper letter
   texconfig xdvi paper us

The problem is that texconfig seems to want to use the ed program to edit
a configuration file, and my installation of cygwin doesn't have ed.
Hence, I tried to download it, but could not find it on any of the
following sites:

ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/

It was listed in Michael Hirmke's list of packages in the latest build
though, loacted at

http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-links.html

Any suggestions for finding ed (probably the easiest solution, since it is
likely used elsewhere)?

Thanks,

Paul
