Do you mean a GNU Emacs? There's the XEmacs for Cygwin

http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/

I too would like to see a fully Cygwinized GNU 21. (If anyone knows of
one, please lemme know.)

Having the netinstaller is also nice. Even nicer would be to have one
or more emacs options under Editors in the Cygwin setup.exe. ed, pico,
and vim? gimme a break :-(

Indeed! TIA, Tom Roche <tlroche AT us DOT ibm DOT com>
