Thanks to a previous responder I now know that in response to uname: NT-5.0 = W2000 NT-5.1 = XP NT-6.0 = Vista NT-6.1 = W7
Q1 Can anybody please tell me the corresponding information for W98? Q2 Are there ways of distinguishing between XP / XP-64, Vista / Vista-64, W7 / W7-64 using uname in Cygwin (or anything else)? Q3 On a machine I was assured was W7-64 (but did not check this) I ran the Legacy version of Cygwin 1.5.25 on a portable stick with no evident difficulties whatsoever. I had earlier understood this not to work. (Also, that Cygwin 1.7 won't run on W98.) Can you confirm that 1.5 on W7-64 (or any 64?) and 1.7 on W98 are both non-runners? Thank you.
