Cygwin
- Cygwin is a UNIX environment for Windows. It consists of two
parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a
UNIX emulation layer providing substantial
UNIX API functionality.
A collection of tools, ported from UNIX,
which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel.

Reinstallation warning
- To update your system, you must run setup.exe TWICE. First, run setup
and update ONLY the ncurses package from 5.2-5 to 5.2-7. UNSELECT any
other packages. Continue until setup completes and exits. Second, run
setup and install the new terminfo, libncurses5, and libncurses6
packages. Continue until setup completes and exits. You MUST do BOTH
steps, or your cygwin installation will be broken.

Physics Department support software for WIN32
- The following software titles are UNIX programs that I have ported to WIN32 platforms, and
must be run on the cygwin UNIX emulation system. A few of these compiled cleanly on my
cygwin test system, others, like teTeX required substantial modifications to the source codes to
render them compilable.
