Hi,

after some research this question remained unresolved, that's why I want to
post it to the list.

Some applications, e.g. C-Kermit 8.0
(http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80binaries.html#linux), offer a variety of
binary versions, e.g. Red Hat 7.0, Red Hat 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9, AS2.1 and
much more. The question is: What version I have to download for a certain
cygwin version?

uname shows for the latest cygwin version CYGWIN_NT-5.1.
cygcheck -s shows as cygwin dll version 1.5.5.

Are there any rules how to map this version information to a certain Linux
version? I think I cannot rely on the compatibility with the latest Red Hat
version - also because of the fact that Red Hat doesn't offer only one
version ...

Thank you for your help.

Uwe Galle
