Hello,
I recently started investigating applications programming on a budget and
was delighted to find both Cygwin and DJGPP (Thanks DJ and Eli).
However I have come to realize that there is a great deal about I don't
understand about the differences between DOS and WIN9X and Unix. Is there
an FAQ or HOW-TO or Tutorial on-line that you can direct me to that explains
the major differences between these systems? In particular I am confused by
the differences between the path specifications in DOS/WIN and the concept
of "mounting" I have heard discussed in this list.
I am coming out of a DOS background with limited windows programming
exposure so simple is good.
Thanks in advance,
Doug Law

Just to be clear, this is the Cygwin documentation. I'm not aware of any
tutorial which discusses the differences.
