-(And please, it's spelled Cygwin, not CygWIN.)
*grin* Sorry. I usually use all lowercase, aka "cygwin."
I was merely pointing out (subtly and repetitively) that

Further, I was trying to point out that it's okay to use

If the tool runs in Windows correctly, then the Windows
"Command Prompt" success tends to point back to CygWIN

LIST: I apologize for hurting anyone's feelings.
Charles has decided to respond in a not-so-receptive tone because I
use RAR in my CygWIN scripts, and Charles
(apparently) feels that using NON-CygWIN-distributed tools in CygWIN
should not be allowed.

Do you know what "FUD" stands for? You seem to think it's profanity.
Spreading FUD is exactly what you are doing.
