Cyqwin Questions?

Cyqwin Questions?

[Kevin Kempter]

I installed cygwin on my windows 2000 box recently and I have 2 questions.
First let me say this is the most impressive unix environment I have ever 
worked with for a windows environment - you guys did a fantastic job.

When I ran the install I had to skip the mingmw10.dll - I tried the install 
several times, each time my machine would slow to a crawl (and practically 
be locked up) when it attempted to install the mingw file.  Can you tell me 
what this file is? and how I can install it on windows 2000?

One other question, I cannot find the 'pg' or 'more' tools, are they 
available? ( I use pg quite often in the UNIX environments I work on)

Thanks for your help..

/Kevin

The mingmw10.dll is a threading support dll for MSVCRT when using
-mno-cygwin and -mthread together.  Do you have a virus protection
manager running?  It's probably making it go haywire for some reason. 
If you don't plan to use -mno-cygwin -mthread gcc switches then it's not
needed.

The other alternative is to install it directly with `tar' but then
that's what setup uses.

The GNU package for this is `less'.
