Help me out here, guys! I am baffled and bewildered. Cygwin (which I've
just downloaded) sets up a unix like environment on a windows machine
(presumably to allow emacs and cc to run normally.)

Problem 1 - can't find cc (not in /bin not in /usr/bin).

Problem 2 - the keyboard appears to be set up for US use and I've no idea
how to change it to the keys on my keyboard. It's a problem because the
shell assumes I have at least one more line on my screen than I have, and I
can't find the 'Ý' symbol to use a pipe to pipe the output though more.
(can't even find more). This even though I deliberately downloaded it from
the UK mirror site.

Problem 3 - can't find man to do man -k anything. The man pages are all
there, though.

Problem 4 - why would anybody choose to use a unix emulator on Windows when
unix itself is available? Windows is slower by a factor of ten than unix,
or even linux, and an emulator compounds that felony by at least a factor
of three. I would regard this as a deal-breaker myself

Problem 5 - I have forgotten a whole lot of unix use and I am not anxious
because of disk space to download reams of documentation just to compile
Hello.c.

Problem 6 - Having downloaded it, I feel honour bound to persevere, rather
than just to dump it arbitrarily.

HELP!!!

Best Wishes,
Bill.
