Subject: cygwin: is it cygwin.dll, the files in cygwin/bin, or both?
Mime-Version: 1.0

I am curious....

I gather that cygwin.dll is a dll that supplies the unix api's we love to 
Windows.

I see that cygwin comes with locate, so I am going to try to set that 
up.  Of course, much of the value of locate comes with the db that gets 
updated "frequently".  And yet, near as I can tell, there is no cron 
distributed with cygwin.

So wow come there is no cron utility supported with cygwin?  Does that 
indicate something about what the cygwin project is that I don't quite 
understand?  Or are there simpler reasons?

Thanks,

Jerry
