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.
