In order to be more Unix-like, /usr/bin does not have subdirectories. Look at the structure of Linux. I'm going to remove Windows Services for Unix and just use both Cygwin and Visual studio. Try and look into /usr/bin on Linux and see what Chris is talking about. -Original Message- From:

Siegfried, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR. Thanks. It does sound like you do need to put C:\cygwin\bin in your Windows PATH, and make sure it gets propagated to Emacs. Alternatively, you could try to get Emacs to run bash -l as its shell (don't ask me how, I don't use Emacs).

Options for Source Code Control: RCS v. SCCS v. CVS

I need some help understanding how RCS works. I typed info RCS and felt confused. Is RCS like CVS in the sense that one runs a un*x deamon or windows service on a remote node and legions of programmers use a client implemented with sockets or pipes. If so, (1) how do I start the service or

I typed info inetd and it says it should be run at boot time by /etc/rc (see rc(8)). What the heck does that mean? I tried info rc and that did not work. OK, I know a little about UN*X. There are these directories in rc.d and I see the cygwin installation has created them on my windows machine.
