> Q: Why doesn't cygwin use an emacs as its frontend instead of a dosshell? What is "dosshell"? Whatever it is, Cygwin doesn't use it.

You're very welcome. > Q: Why doesn't Cygwin do something similar to Cpan? And what exactly that supposed to mean? > Q: Why is "#!>help" so useless? Why doesn't it get fixed to act more like > the old DOS help?

What would The Great Hive Mind > suggest to me for further reading? I'm looking for a list of good books that > are somewhere I couldn't just browse across them as a given. ...? -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 28.12.2013, <06:01> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
