There are two possible explanations for this: 1- The "host" utility is not available at Cygwin 2- I didn't find it, even using the "Setup Package Search" utility. That's why I ask again the same question: If the "host" utility is available in cygwin, which cygwin package should I install to have it? otherwise, is there are simple "host" alternative in a cygwin package?
