install 'cron' packages in cygwin

Hi cgf,

I checked the output from 'cygcheck -s'. There is an entry called 'vim' and
there is no -src against it, but I don't see any vim.exe either under /bin
or /sbin or /usr/sbin. When I type 'vim' at the dollar prompt, it says
'command not found'. How do I check whether 'vim' is installed or not ?

thanks
Santi

If the name shows up in the cygcheck output without the '-src', it is
already
on your system.  In your /bin, /sbin, or /usr/sbin directory.
