well, and then ?!

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fmost
=>  Found 0 matches for /usr/bin/most

however, someone have made it available somewhere

Cyrille AT pcvista /home/Cyrille
v2$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0 pcvista 1.7.14(0.260/5/3) 2012-04-25 09:41 i686 Cygwin

Cyrille AT pcvista /home/Cyrille
v2$ most --help
MOST version 5.0.0 (S-Lang version 2.2.4)
  *Note: This executable was compiled against S-Lang 2.2.2
Usage:
most [-1Cbcdkstvw] [+/string] [+line number] [+s] [+d] file...
  where: -1:  assume VT100 terminal. (VMS only)
         -b:  Startup in binary mode.
         -C:  disable color support
         -c:  Make searches case sensitive.
         -d:  Do not display the \ wrap marker when wrapping lines.
         -M:  Do not attempt to mmap files.
         -s:  Squeeze out excess blank lines.
         -t:  Display tabs as ^I.  If this option is immediately followed
                by an integer, the integer sets the tab width.
         -u:  Disable UTF-8 mode
         -v:  Do not interpret backspace formatting characters.
         -w:  Wrap lines.
         -z:  No gunzip-on-the-fly.
         +/string:
              Search for string
         +line number
              Start up at specified line number.
         +d:  Allow file deletion.
         +s:  Secure Mode-- no edit, cd, shell, and reading files not
                already listed on the command line.
         +u:  Enable UTF-8 mode.

Example: most -ct4 +82 keymap.c
  makes searches case sensitive, sets tabwidth to 4, and displays the file
  keymap.c starting at line 82.

hopefully it will make it available for everyone :-)
