Hi everyone,

A BIG Thank You to everyone who has been involved in the creation of the
CygWin software.

For a project, I wanted to create some small utilities to convert incoming
data file, but I only have this Win2K laptop :( As an old UNIX programmer, I
didn't feel like having to learn a Windows IDE, so I was planning to
repartitioning my NTFS disk to make room for a Linux distribution.

But last night, I started to think "Maybe I can just install a Windows port
of gcc, lex and yacc instead?". This morning, I searched for
gcc+windows+binaries - and viola! CygWin came up.

10 minutes later, thanks to that beautiful litte program called setup.exe, I
had en environment that looked just as I remembered UNIX :-)

THANKS!!!
