Thanks.

I guess, if I had to use cygwin a lot, I might find it to be less than
satisfactory.  Luckily, my use is very limited and is for very sporadic
use.  The advantage of cygwin is I only have to run a single setup
program, click the select box for the various tools, hit install and I'm
done!

I have been 99.999% Linux since 1992... (0.99pl12 Slackware version ;-)
with Solaris, BSD Unix and Unix V7 before that.  All I care about is
having bash+emacs with basic org in case I need to use Windows for some
reason!
