I still wonder why B20 was upadted. This was the most stable,
never broken Cygwin release and I'm still running it without
the need to ask for support forever!

P.S.: I'll tell you where to fetch the famous cygwin-B20
tarball if you ask me to do so ;)

I've always kept a copy lying around as well!
IIRC, there was also a copy in the cygwin time machine when I was there
the other day. [checks] Yep.
ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/b20.1/
He's even got
ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/b19.1/
cheers,

Wow, I was not aware that B20 ever was updated!
I got my copy here:
http://www.1o0.de/wi-links/modula3/Cygwin-b20.exe
It is just 16 MB, but it is an absloute sophisticated one-click-install
POSIX emulation!
They use it to drive their Modula-3 compilers:
http://www.1o0.de/wi-links/modula3/
German HOWTO install Modula-3 on XP:
http://www.1o0.de/wi-links/informatik/praxis/programmiersprachen/modula3/installation/windows/windows.html
Translated shortref from this page:
- Install Cygwin-b20.exe
- copy cygwin1.dll to C:\WINDOWS\System32 !!!
- create C:\BIN
- copy SH.EXE to C:\BIN
- install PM3-BIN.EXE to C:\
- create C:\tmp\
READY
START --> Programs --> Cygnus Solutions --> Cygwin B20
Move around with the usual unix commands and if you find your .m3 files
and the m3makefile call m3build to invoke the compiler.
Isn't this great?
Gerrit

Shouldn't they have the source code available for this mythical B20
beast? Or is that included in the .exe? I really don't feel like
downloading it to find out.

<sarcasm>
You don't feel like downloading Modula-3? I have now officially heard
everything.
