Hi Eric,
hello all,

thanks for your answer.
    Fred> Hello, is it possible to edit the files generated by/under
    Fred> cygwin with a text editor under Windows XP?

    Eric> Of course -- they're just files.

But I heard that cygwin uses a "directory" or "partition" that is not
a real one, because all it stores it puts into one single file, it got
from the operation system it is installed on.

So for windows its one file, too big to edit really and with a format
I dont know, but for cygwin it looks like it's own harddisk. Thats
true? Thanks for your help.

Sincerely yours

Fred Rathke
