That's exactly what I asked.

No. I just lack the necessary information to do it.  And that is what I am seeking

It wouldn't be teaching me, but providing information to all the cygwin community.

Why do you think not?

That would be find for me, if the information is there, but wouldn't be much help to other people who would like the same information, if any.

That's a silly thing to say.  I, for one am not trying to set any rules.

If anyone believes that trying to learn and use cygwin is "arguing" you are far off base.
And it doesn't become the cygwin group, to make threats to members of the community, like you just did in the above sentence.

I'll honor that, and I will keep the information available for any other cygwin users in the future would need help in a similar manner.

I don't mock people who are earnest and don't mock.
