Taylor UUCP builds out of the box on Cygwin: $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/uucp/uucp-1.07.tar.gz $ tar xf uucp-1.07.tar.gz $ cd uucp-1.07 $ configure && make -j11 $ ./cu --version cu (Taylor UUCP) 1.07 Copyright (C) 1991, 92, 93, 94, 1995, 2002 Ian Lance Taylor This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public LIcense.

When searching on the Cygwin package search page, adding .exe to executables narrows the results considerably. As it happens, there is a Cygwin package shipping *cu.exe, but it is not the cu(1) you are looking for. Move along. Adding a leading slash fixes that: Found 0 matches for /cu.exe If you were searching elsewhere (e.g. Google) then, yes, “cu” is a bad search term. But if you knew that cu comes from the UUCP package, “cu uucp” leads you right to Taylor UUCP. See, I *knew* there was a reason I was spending my days on amber VT220s hacking Unix back when I could have been out making Vitamin D! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
