Is there a free NFS client anyone can recommend that works will with Cygwin?
Also, has anyone considered building something like FUSE into Cygwin?
FUSE is a package for creating user-mode filesystems in Linux. It
requires a certain amount of kernel support; but I can't see how it

There's already a patch that purports to be fairly complete, which
modifies Cygwin so that its paths are UTF-8:

It's extremely annoying now that Cygwin cannot reliably work with file
names containing non-ASCII non-Latin1 characters (and even with Latin
I am using zsh on the latest cygwin and the first time I load it up and
try to do tab completion on e.g. /mnt/g/download/, it spends an
inordinate amount of time grinding the disk -- sometimes on the order of
2 minutes or more. the directory contains only 8 subdirs:

Apologies if this is a FAQ.
When I use `mv' on a directory and any file within it happens to be locked
for some reason [e.g. I've opened it in Word], it will try to copy the
entire directory and then delete the original.
I consider this very dangerous behavior to be happening without my

I apologize if this is a FAQ.
One of the clever features of the `cygwin' TERM type is that programs like
`man' and `more' and others switch to a secondary screen buffer, so that
when you exit the program, you get back the original buffer, uncluttered by
the program's output.
Unfortunately, this i
If any Cygwin program is running, e.g. a compilation, Visual C++ takes an
incredibly long time to start up. This has been the case for me for years.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of locking contention here?

Somehow or other, sscanf() has gotten messed up in recent Cygwin
installations.

cygwin is not terribly windows-specific. it's basically unix, and runs all the
standard gcc suite of tools, so if you understand shared libraries under Unix,
you understand them under gcc.
