Acronyms
I just found this, thought it might be fun to package http://cronus.comp.utas.edu.au/~thsutton/computing/wtf.html and add the cygwin specific acronyms :) http://cygwin.com/acronyms/ snip from=the man page wtf - translates acronyms and filename suffixes for you. The wtf program looks-up the definition of a term. It supports a number of definition sources. In this version they are an acronyms database and qa filename suffixes database. /snip If I have the time, I might manage this in a couple of weeks time, if somebody beats me to it, great :) J. === Information in this email and any attachments are confidential, and may not be copied or used by anyone other than the addressee, nor disclosed to any third party without our permission.
