The initial release is version 3.2.20. 3270 is a type of terminal protocol, somewhat like telnet protocol. If you work with IBM mainframes then you will be familiar with 3270's in general. This suite of emulators will come in very handy. The suite is composed of the following packages: c3270 - Curses based emulator pr3287 - 3287 printer emulator s3270 - Scripted emulator tcl3270 - Tcl/Tk based emulator x3270 - X-Windows based emulator Each of the above is a separate package and will appear as separate packages in the list of Cygwin installable packages. The suite3270 package is a container for common files among the emulators. You do not need to select it. Selecting any one of the other emulators will pull in suite3270 automatically. INSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Net" and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. Choose one or more of the packages for installation. You do not need to install all of them. Only install that which you need. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
