editor & changing file permissions

editor & changing file permissions

[andrew brown]

Hi,
    I'm new to the cygnus and have a couple of questions. Is there a editor
available with cygwin, something like vi which is available with unix. Also
is there a document i can reference anywhere that will explain what the
parameters for the chmod command represent ??

Aby information on these questions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

There is vi, there also is emacs.

For vim, have a look at
http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/1.0/vim-5.5-cygwin-1.0-without-gui-bin.README

   - package availability
     - on ftp.franken.de
     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/1.0
     - or vim-5.5-cygwin-1.0-without-gui-bin.tar.gz
     - or vim-5.5-cygwin-1.0-without-gui-bin.zip

man chmod

You have to install man, less, ncurses and groff for this one to work,
though!

For these one you can look at
