Re: Problem while installing Cygwin

["Anitha Ramesh" <anithasoft at hotmail dot com>]

Hello,

    Thank you for your kind assistance.

   I got Cygwin b20.1 from www.go.cygwin.com

   I installed as per the instructions given in "Installing PRC-Tools with 
Cygwin" under http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/gcc/install-win.html.

   Now I am going to start my coding part.

   Once again Thank You.

Regds,
Anitha
