Sorry to follow up on my own email but I have a couple of minor corrections to my original announcement. 1) The URL is: http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin/ 2) The place to send non-technical questions pertaining to sales, licensing, shipping, etc., is: cygwin-info@cygnus.com -chris >Dear Cygwin Community, > >Thanks to your support and feedback, I am pleased to announce the >commercial availability of Cygwin 1.0. As you know, Cygwin is a >UNIX/Linux shell environment and portability layer enabling delivery of >open source projects to Windows. You already use Cygwin to help >integrate Windows into your UNIX-based environment and migrate >applications from UNIX to Windows. > >With the new enhancements included on the CD (see >http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin/ for more details), you can now easily >review info files and man pages. In addition, the CD contains a more >UNIX-like layout that has been discussed and recommended by the >community. The compiler incorporates our Code Fusion technology which >includes optimizations for the Intel Pentium family of processors. I am >also pleased that this release contains our graphical debugger, Insight. > >The best news is that soon (on October 15) I will be offering the >community a chance to get the new CD and docs for $20 off the "street >price" or $79 (USD). > >Here's how you get it: go to http://www.cygnus.com/cygwin , click on the >"Buy Cygwin" link. On the "SHOP CYGNUS" main page, under the Cygwin >section, click on "Community Offer." The password is "SHELL" - and that >will tag the order for the special price. > >Again, this will not be available until October 15. You'll have to >wait until then to order. > >We are calling this version of Cygwin version 1.0 but it is essentially >B21. It comes with a number of additional binaries from a standard >net release. Currently, the additional tools are not mentioned on >the web site but they soon will be. Until then, I've attached a list of >the additional binaries in the "contrib/bin" directory to this message. > >If you have any questions about things like price, shipping and >handling, etc. please send them to cygwin-info@cygnus.com . DJ and I will try >to answer any technical questions in the cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com >mailing list (but please remember that this activity is not part of >our full-time jobs). > >I'm excited about this Cygwin offering and can't wait to see this on >the shelves of CompUSA, Best Buy, etc. The box has, IMO, some really >cool cover art of a shell -- to symbolize the use of a UNIX/Linux >shell on Windows. > >Best Regards, >Christopher Faylor >Cygwin Technical Manager >Cygnus Solutions -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
