I don't have a background in C..

I want to compile this program for Cygwin..

http://netcat.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netcat/?view=tar

I know cygwin has a netcat package installed, but I think this one on sourceforge might be more up to date.

I've heard for example that the one on sourceforge supports socks, and i'm not sure that the nc built into cygwin does.

I want to use the switch
-X proto



I have the subdirectory here

But I see no "configure" file, and when I try to run INSTALL I get a syntax error.

So i'm wondering if maybe i'm going the wrong way about it.

$ ./INSTALL
./INSTALL: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `C'
./INSTALL: line 1: `Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software'
