Re: Where can I get the source code for setup.exe

Whew. Ask for help (teach me to) and you get it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll probably try to build setup this weekend, unless time 'frees' instead of 'flies'. But, all of the help I've received is outstanding. Paranoia is out the window. There was a posting on how to obtain Setup-2.

The malloc function returns a null each time I use it. I followed the instructions from a post dated 04/17/00 on the cygwin list ("Help! cygwin's malloc does not work")which requires a change in the registry, but it does not solve the memory(?) issue. My PC has enough memory, so I don't understand

Re: any fix for the c-c and backspace problem with emacs on cygwin.

setting the variable CYGWIN to tty fixes the c-c problem in emacs but I still can't backspace either with the backspace key or the delete key, which sometimes functions as a backspace. setting CYGWIN to notty has even worse behavior, backspace and c-c don't work. If CYGWIN is set to tty or notty,
