This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up the above mentioned package from the 'Editors' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the latest version of this package fairly soon: In the US ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ has reliable high bandwidth connections. QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
