I was thinking about (end-user) documentation. It seems like there are quite a few questions that come up about "What kind of UNIX is Cygwin?" and more than once there have been questions about a "man intro" page. I know a little groff and I'm thinking of making a collection of cygwin-specific manpages. Since the full documentation is on the web the manpages could point that direction (like the GNU manpages point to info). I might start out with a "man intro" page and manpages for the cygwin utils and cygwin_foo() functions, as already documented on the website. What I'm looking for is feedback on the intro.1 page, which might include:
--URL of the User's Guide --the description from the website about "A DLL (cygwin1.dll) that acts as a UNIX emulation layer..." --emphasis on GNU tools which make the cygwin environment more similar to GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd than, say, Solaris --that cygwin is NOT any one UNIX and the importance of the SUSv2 (with URL) --SEE ALSO: cygcheck, cygpath, etc. --??? Obviously this is not real writing but just points to make on the page. I'll post a draft here also. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
