For the FAQ, try: http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/faq_toc.html Also the mailing list is archived at: http://www.cygnus.com/ml/gnu-win32 > Please keep in mind that I am not a UNIX person so I may miss the obvious.

For the (unix style/nroff) manual pages, which tell you about the tools in the cdk.exe archive: ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/latest/cdk-man.tar.gz If you want some API manual pages, a good approximation which I am currently using is: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/source/doc/manpages_1.19.orig.tar.gz The cdk doesn't come with a reader however, so you might like to install the following packages from http://www.i21.com/~tjump/files/cygwin32: cygwin32-b19-ncurses-4.2.tar.gz cygwin32-b19-less-3.32.tar.gz cygwin32-b19-groff-1.11.tar.gz cygwin32-b19-man-1.4d.tar.gz > Another question: How can I convert text files between UNIX format > (LF) and DOS/Windows format (CR/LF)? I looked at tr but it seems to > me it only performs 1-to-1 character translations. sed 's/^M$//' from bash? (replace-regexp "^M$" "") from emacs? :%s,^M$,, from vi? (the above have to be *real* CTRL-M's not just ^ then M) or you might try: http://www.kedemel.demon.co.uk/trans.exe Cheers, Gary V.
