I will likely take you up on this offer. I'm not sure that your memo answers my original question. Let me restate things QUESTION #1: What is the official documentation for the ECGS compilers, libraries, and utilities (debugger &c) available as CygWin? QUESTION #2: Is there a single seat price for your product that I think is called "CygPro Toolkit"? Do you have a detailed data sheet on this workbench? Cordially, ~~~ Dan St.André cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com wrote: > 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.
