I installed cygwin about an hour ago and had no probs. But I don't find any command to create and edit a file, usually I use joe on linux systems, but it's not installed in cygwin. > Well, I think this is a rather simple question, but I didn't find anything at cygwin.com and need to write some c++ proggies for a university course and don't have much time to waste :-( > If you go to http://www.cygwin.com/, you will see a link to a precompiled version of joe. Or you could use vi (comes with cygwin). Or you could search google for "+cygwin +pico" (or "+cygwin +nano") Or you could get XEmacs -- the cygwin version, or the windows native version. Both are available pre-compiled from http://www.xemacs.org and use a snazzy installer based on cygwin's setup.exe. (The windows native XEmacs also is available via an experimental InstallShield installer). Or you could use notepad. Code is just text, after all. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
