The "easiest" or "best" depends partly upon what you use to provide

I must have done something to my cygwin folder, but all my ln'ed soft links on
cygwin have gotten replaced by *.lnk windows files. Is there a utility to
convert windows links to cygwin soft links? I dont want to have to go and do

Hi,
I upgraded my cygwin recently to the latest cron (4.1-6), and it seems to have
stopped working. I did a cygrunsrv -E cron when the setup asked me to kill
cron, and cygrunsrv -S cron to start it after the upgrade finished.
Now the application log shows that /usr/sbin/cron actually runs, but in

You can simply make a link from pdflatex to pdfetex in /usr/bin and
everything should be fine. I seem to recall this was one of the
solutions required to get tetex working properly with "make pdf" on
