It seems that this has been the case for a while, but the tar package is missing a manpage for tar (though there is an info page). I believe the manpage exists in the source package (albeit in a strange location) -- any particular reason it's not included in the binary one? Igor --

Hi, I've set up Cygwin on XP (now running on a non-admin account) with CYGWIN=tty. I've struggled to find documentation on what happens when CYGWIN=tty, apart from that it's more Unix-compatible. Is there any? I'm guessing that Cygwin is doing some terminal emulation rather than just using cmd.
