> Dear Cygwin Community,
>
> Thanks to your support and feedback, I am pleased to announce the
> commercial availability of Cygwin 1.0.  As you know, Cygwin is a
> UNIX/Linux shell environment and portability layer
> enabling delivery of
> open source projects to Windows.  You already use Cygwin to help
> integrate Windows into your UNIX-based environment and migrate
> applications from UNIX to Windows.
>
> With the new enhancements included on the CD (see
> http:www.cygnus.com/cygwin
> for more details), you can now easily review info files
> and man pages.
> In addition, the CD contains a more UNIX-like layout that has been
> discussed and recommended by the community. The compiler
> incorporates
> our Code Fusion technology which includes optimizations
> for the Intel
> Pentium family of processors. I am also pleased that this release
> contains our graphical debugger, Insight.
>
> The best news is that soon (on October 15) I will be offering the
> community a chance to get the new CD and docs for $20 off
> the "street
> price" or $79 (USD).
>
> Here's how you get it: go to http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin
> , click on the
> "Buy Cygwin" link.  On the "SHOP CYGNUS" main page, under
> the Cygwin
> section, click on "Community Offer." The password is
> "SHELL" - and that
> will tag the order for the special price.
>
> Again, this will not be available until October 15.
> You'll have to
> wait until then to order.
>
> We are calling this version of Cygwin version 1.0 but it
> is essentially
> B21.  It comes with a number of additional binaries from
> a standard
> net release.  Currently, the additional tools are not mentioned on
> the web site but they soon will be.  Until then, I've
> attached a list of
> the additional binaries in the "contrib/bin" directory to
> this message.
>
> If you have any questions about things like price, shipping and
> handling, etc.  please send them to info AT cygnus DOT com .  DJ
> and I will try
> to answer any technical questions in the
> cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
> mailing list (but please remember that this activity is
> not part of
> our full-time jobs).
>
> I'm excited about this Cygwin offering and can't wait to
> see this on
> the shelves of CompUSA, Best Buy, etc.  The box has, IMO,
> some really
> cool cover art of a shell -- to symbolize the use of a UNIX/Linux
> shell on Windows.
