I see the level of being unhelpful in posts is rising, heavily
increasing the noise level, if you're not going to answer anything in
the mail why include the whole of it. Ah well the delights of these
migrating windows users, I read something recently that th most
knowledgable people are now on the minro os's, eg the free BSD's cos of
the lower noise. I believe that people are starting to do the same with
muds, eg circlemud is pretty common and known to work out the box, and
lots of snippets available.
Perhaps this sounds silly but can't people just not bother posting
rather than saying read the faq, the archives, the web pages. It's
become the standard answer to things, and it's just more noise.

Ahh helpful hints, the list archive is down, or was and no one has said
otherwise.

That doesn't help with his question.

he's using cygwin, the unix like enviroment for windows. IE it acts very
much like unix.

/bin/sh is the default shell, did you read the instructions with cygwin
about setting it up? It's been a while since I used cygwin. Someone
pointed out a web page that has more info though.
There's also a file in the docs dir with instructions in it
(README.CYGWIN). It even says where you get the bin dir from, along
with how how to get it working.

I thought cygwin came with patch, most editors allow you to jump to
lines (or they do in unix, windows ones don't seem to unless you've got
a port of a uniz one)

Well i hope you're on the list, otherwise you ain't getting any of
these...
