Cygwin Xwin Windows 10 Trend Micro

I just upgraded to Windows 10 via fresh install, including a fresh install of Cygwin. I use Trend Micro antivirus. I had issues with the dash postinstall rebase operation which would hang, but figured out that it would work if I temporarily disabled Trend Micro. I couldn't get the X windows to

Back-slashes pre-date Bill. Can't blame him for that one. Before Bill Gates there was "CP/M" launched by Digital Research - basically a bunch of nerd-hippies in Seattle. IBM was looking to license it for a low end machine it was developing (ominous background music appropriate at this point).

The choice to use slashes as qualifers instead of dashes was “just to be different” as well. This was ’78-81. VMS wasn’t in Gates’ mind at the time. > On Aug 5, 2016, at 1:14 PM, Nellis, Kenneth wrote: > > From: Erik Soderquist >> ... DOS did a lot of things >>

When Windows LXSS came out it was intriguing but without access from the command prompt it doesn't seem as useful as cygwin. What I liked about it though is that it simplifies file permissions. I've always had many headaches with cygwin and strange file permissions that it creates. But then

[private, off-list reply] Hi Michael, Do you have some sort of list of detailed requirements implemented by MKS tools where Cygwin is different or lacking in some way? Maybe Cygwin could pick up some of them. Anyway, about a month ago, when I learned that Cygwin is now under the Lesser GPL,

Michael, You need to configure your email client to wrap your text at no more than 78 characters, 72 would be even better. It helps quoting what you write better. You also need to stop top posting or remove the trailing mail from the reply if quoting that particular mail isn't necessary.
