Wrong. The answer is yes. Go to http://ex-vi.berlios.de/, download a copy of BSD licensed Unix 7 ex sourcecode, do a couple of trivial modifications and you are in business. Now, why is not ITP'ed by yours truly? Because the maintainer doesn't want it ported to Windows, that's why. I may find he is a pompous cuadruped arse when it comes to his people skills, but I do agree with 95% of the reasons he has not to want such port; so, you are on your own, unless someone else with less sensitivity steps in and packages it.. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
