Hello,

    Some questions about DJGPP and CYGWIN.

Are they mutually exclusive?  That is, do you use one or the other, not
both?
If only one is used, which is better?  If you can use both, what are the
benefits of doing so?

I am interested because I have DJGPP installed on my windows 95 system
with many popular unix tools (gcc, grep, sed, etc.).  I was interested
in finding a xterm like replacement for the command.com prompt.  I want
a command line interface which scrolls, etc.  I found rxvt version 2.7.2
which seems to require CYGWIN, but not the X11 libraries.

Any other input helpful.

Thank you,
