First I'd like to say the Cygwin is really great. My system at home is a Windows98se box with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in. :-) Although I have Linux on a separate disk drive which I can boot off of, having Cygwin makes it a lot easier to toggle back and forth between Windows and Linux. So keep up the great work! If I have a few minutes I'll see if I can work on something for someone. But presently I have a few questions: System: Windows98se, Downloaded Cygwin on August 17th (don't know the version number off the top of my head). I'm running tcsh and bash, use rxvt as the terminal type. I have lots of hard drive space and lots of memory. rpm: Is there an rpm program available for Cygwin? If so I can not find it. I thought it would be nice to be able to unrpm the sources of programs in order to work on them. vim: I have various commands in vim which end in ^M. They won't work. Why not? (They get out to the end of the command but no return is entered. I tried putting in ^J's - but no go. I'm stuck. Help?) nvi: NVI's installation returned "could not find stropts.h". I looked - not there. top: I saw that it was mentioned that there is now a TOP program. How do I go about getting it? The download didn't have it in it. Thanks! That's it.
