I'm sure Cygwin tries to include the best possible documentation. But if someone can't find an answer in the official docs, it seems to me that asking for other sources is the right thing to do. For any number of reasons, there may be other sources of information that are not yet included in the official Cygwin documentation. > The best documentation is the source code. That depends on one's definition of "best". Source is certainly the most accurate documentation, but it is probably not the easiest to use. I'm sure the Cygwin developers are very busy and don't have a lot of time to offer free end-user support, especially since Cygwin does offer paid support options. And I do see a number of helpful articles posted by Cygwin developers. But occasionally I'm surprised at how hostile some answers are to what seem to be reasonable questions and requests. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
