			CYGWIN specific instructions

Refer to http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin/ to properly install CYGWIN:

Last versions of cygwin are very easy to install (using a setup.exe which
downloads from various mirrors last binaries). The resulting system is
installed under something like c:\cygwin.

It is a good idea to defined a home/<username> directory under the cygwin
directory (e.g. c:\cygwin\home) and to define the HOME environment
variable.

If you use MSVC++ it is pertinent to set MSVC++ environment
variables (generally MSVC++ generates a .bat file to define them, on my
system it is called c:\vcvars32.bat).

Similarly if you want to use the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop (see
W32GUICons/HTML-HELP) you can call c:\hhvars.bat.

You can also use RXVT, which is a graphical environment for bash (however,
you should also keep your MSDOS bash since GNU-Prolog line-editor does not
work well under RXVT in console mode).

Here is my cygnus_msdos.bat file (to launch bash under a MSDOS console):

@ECHO OFF
set HOME=c:\cygwin\home\diaz
call c:\vcvars32.bat
call c:\hhvars.bat
bash --login -i

You can launch rxvt (a GUI terminal), e.g.
rxvt -fn "Courier-12' -tn xterm -sl 1000 &


NB: DO NOT define the CYGWIN environment variable with 'tty' inside if you want
to run a cygwin compiled version of GNU-Prolog (yet true in last versions ?).

For information here is a possible $HOME/.bashrc file:

export PS1='\w> '
export TERM=linux
stty intr ^c susp ^z start ^q stop ^s quit ^\\ erase ^?
alias ll=ls\ -l
alias more=less
alias ls=ls\ -F\ --color

Finally note that a version of Emacs exists for winXX machines. Refer to
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html for more information.
If you use it, you should initialize the HOME variable in the autoexec.bat
(or similar) to be able to use pathnames beginning with ~ (tilde) under
Emacs. Also you can put a _emacs file in your HOME (similar to .emacs under
Unix).
