Can I request for those who don't know, take a look at
http://cygwin.com/packages/ ?
Thanks,
Earnie.

I'll be glad to second this request. My cygwin bin contains 561 files.
I'm willing to bet that I've never used about half of them, and never
heard of about a quarter. A short description would be really useful.

As one who is using Cygwin and following the news in this list, but more
experienced with Windows than with 'nix, I would like to see a 1 or 2
sentence description in any new package announcement, be it official or
preliminary.
About 4 of 5 of the program names I see posted, I've never heard of, but
I
might realize the possible usefulness of some of them if I did know.
Thanks
