+
+<para>There's a C library which provides a Unix-style API.  The
+applications are linked with it and voila - they run on Windows.
+</para>
+<para>The aim is to add all the goop necessary to make your apps run on
+Windows into the C library.  Then your apps should run on Unix and
+Windows with no changes at the source level.
+</para>
+<para>The C library is in a DLL, which makes basic applications quite small.
+And it allows relatively easy upgrades to the Win32/Unix translation
+layer, providing that DLL changes stay backward-compatible.
+</para>
+<para>For a good overview of Cygwin, you may want to read the paper on Cygwin
+published by the Usenix Association in conjunction with the 2d Usenix NT
+Symposium in August 1998.  It is available in HTML format on the project

+
+<para>Yes.  They're made whenever anything interesting happens inside the
+Cygwin library (usually roughly on a nightly basis, depending on how much
+is going on).  They are only intended for those people who wish to
+contribute code to the project.  If you aren't going to be happy
+debugging problems in a buggy snapshot, avoid these and wait for a real
+release.  The snapshots are available from
+<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/snapshots/">http://cygwin.com/snapshots/</ulink>.

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.api.cr-lf">
+<question><para>How is the DOS/Unix CR/LF thing handled?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Let's start with some background.
+</para>
+<para>In UNIX, a file is a file and what the file contains is whatever the
+program/programmer/user told it to put into it.  In Windows, a file is
+also a file and what the file contains depends not only on the
+program/programmer/user but also the file processing mode.
+</para>
+<para>When processing in text mode, certain values of data are treated
+specially.  A \n (new line) written to the file will prepend a \r
+(carriage return) so that if you `printf("Hello\n") you in fact get
+"Hello\r\n".  Upon reading this combination, the \r is removed and the
+number of bytes returned by the read is 1 less than was actually read.
+This tends to confuse programs dependent on ftell() and fseek().  A
+Ctrl-Z encountered while reading a file sets the End Of File flags even
+though it truly isn't the end of file.
+</para>
+<para>One of Cygwin's goals is to make it possible to easily mix Cygwin-ported
+Unix programs with generic Windows programs.  As a result, Cygwin opens
+files in text mode as is normal under Windows.  In the accompanying
+tools, tools that deal with binaries (e.g. objdump) operate in Unix
+binary mode and tools that deal with text files (e.g. bash) operate in
+text mode.
+</para>
+<para>Some people push the notion of globally setting the default processing
+mode to binary via mount point options or by setting the CYGWIN
+environment variable.  But that creates a different problem.  In
+binary mode, the program receives all of the data in the file, including
+a \r.  Since the programs will no longer deal with these properly for
+you, you would have to remove the \r from the relevant text files,
+especially scripts and startup resource files.  This is a porter "cop
+out", forcing the user to deal with the \r for the porter.
+</para>
+<para>It is rather easy for the porter to fix the source code by supplying the
+appropriate file processing mode switches to the open/fopen functions.
+Treat all text files as text and treat all binary files as binary.  To be
+specific, you can select binary mode by adding <literal>O_BINARY</literal> to
+the second argument of an <literal>open</literal> call, or
+<literal>"b"</literal> to second argument of an <literal>fopen</literal> call.
+You can also call <literal>setmode (fd, O_BINARY)</literal>.
+</para>
+<para>Note that because the open/fopen switches are defined by ANSI, they
+exist under most flavors of Unix; open/fopen will just ignore the switch
+since they have no meaning to UNIX.

+32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an
+8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor,

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.api.fork">
+<question><para>How is fork() implemented?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Cygwin fork() essentially works like a non-copy on write version
+of fork() (like old Unix versions used to do).  Because of this it
+can be a little slow.  In most cases, you are better off using the
+spawn family of calls if possible.
+</para>
+<para>Here's how it works:
+</para>
+<para>Parent initializes a space in the Cygwin process table for child.
+Parent creates child suspended using Win32 CreateProcess call, giving
+the same path it was invoked with itself.  Parent calls setjmp to save
+its own context and then sets a pointer to this in the Cygwin shared
+memory area (shared among all Cygwin tasks).  Parent fills in the child's
+.data and .bss subsections by copying from its own address space into
+the suspended child's address space.  Parent then starts the child.
+Parent waits on mutex for child to get to safe point.  Child starts and
+discovers if has been forked and then longjumps using the saved jump
+buffer.  Child sets mutex parent is waiting on and then blocks on
+another mutex waiting for parent to fill in its stack and heap.  Parent
+notices child is in safe area, copies stack and heap from itself into
+child, releases the mutex the child is waiting on and returns from the
+fork call.  Child wakes from blocking on mutex, recreates any mmapped
+areas passed to it via shared area and then returns from fork itself.

+<qandaentry id="faq.api.globbing">
+<question><para>How does wildcarding (globbing) work?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>If the DLL thinks it was invoked from a DOS style prompt, it runs a
+`globber' over the arguments provided on the command line.  This means
+that if you type <literal>LS *.EXE</literal> from DOS, it will do what you might
+expect.
+</para>
+<para>Beware: globbing uses <literal>malloc</literal>.  If your application defines
+<literal>malloc</literal>, that will get used.  This may do horrible things to you.

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.api.symlinks">
+<question><para>How do symbolic links work?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Cygwin knows of two ways to create symlinks.
+</para>
+<para>The old method is the only valid one up to but not including version 1.3.0.
+If it's enabled (from 1.3.0 on by setting `nowinsymlinks' in the environment
+variable CYGWIN) Cygwin generates link files with a magic header.  When you
+open a file or directory that is a link to somewhere else, it opens the file
+or directory listed in the magic header.  Because we don't want to have to
+open every referenced file to check symlink status, Cygwin marks symlinks
+with the system attribute.  Files without the system attribute are not
+checked.  Because remote samba filesystems do not enable the system
+attribute by default, symlinks do not work on network drives unless you
+explicitly enable this attribute.
+</para>
+<para>The new method which is introduced with Cygwin version 1.3.0 is enabled
+by default or if `winsymlinks' is set in the environment variable CYGWIN.
+Using this method, Cygwin generates symlinks by creating Windows shortcuts.
+Cygwin created shortcuts have a special header (which is in that way never
+created by Explorer) and the R/O attribute set.  A DOS path is stored in
+the shortcut as usual and the description entry is used to store the POSIX
+path.  While the POSIX path is stored as is, the DOS path has perhaps to be
+rearranged to result in a valid path.  This may result in a divergence
+between the DOS and the POSIX path when symlinks are moved crossing mount
+points.  When a user changes the shortcut, this will be detected by Cygwin
+and it will only use the DOS path then.  While Cygwin shortcuts are shown
+without the ".lnk" suffix in `ls' output, non-Cygwin shortcuts are shown
+with the suffix.  However, both are treated as symlinks.
+</para>
+<para>Both, the old and the new symlinks can live peacefully together since Cygwin
+treats both as symlinks regardless of the setting of `(no)winsymlinks' in
+the environment variable CYGWIN.

+<para>As of version 1.5.13, the Cygwin developers are not aware of any feature
+in the cygwin dll that would allow users to gain privileges or to access
+objects to which they have no rights under Windows. However there is no

+<question><para>How do the net-related functions work?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para><emphasis role='bold'>(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.)</emphasis>
+</para>
+<para>The network support in Cygwin is supposed to provide the Unix API, not
+the Winsock API.
+</para>
+<para>There are differences between the semantics of functions with the same
+name under the API.
+</para>
+<para>E.g., the select system call on Unix can wait on a standard file handles
+and handles to sockets.  The select call in Winsock can only wait on
+sockets.  Because of this, cygwin.dll does a lot of nasty stuff behind
+the scenes, trying to persuade various Winsock/win32 functions to do what
+a Unix select would do.
+</para>
+<para>If you are porting an application which already uses Winsock, then
+using the net support in Cygwin is wrong.
+</para>
+<para>But you can still use native Winsock, and use Cygwin.  The functions
+which cygwin.dll exports are called 'cygwin_&lt;name&gt;'.  There
+are a load of defines which map the standard Unix names to the names
+exported by the DLL-- check out include/netdb.h:
+</para>
+<screen>
+..etc..
+void		cygwin_setprotoent (int);
+void		cygwin_setservent (int);
+void		cygwin_setrpcent (int);
+..etc..
+#ifndef __INSIDE_CYGWIN_NET__
+#define endprotoent cygwin_endprotoent 
+#define endservent cygwin_endservent 
+#define endrpcent  cygwin_endrpcent  
+..etc..
+</screen>
+
+<para>The idea is that you'll get the Unix-&gt;Cygwin mapping if you include
+the standard Unix header files.  If you use this, you won't need to
+link with libwinsock.a - all the net stuff is inside the DLL.
+</para>
+<para>The mywinsock.h file is a standard winsock.h which has been hacked to
+remove the bits which conflict with the standard Unix API, or are
+defined in other headers.  E.g., in mywinsock.h, the definition of
+struct hostent is removed.  This is because on a Unix box, it lives in
+netdb.  It isn't a good idea to use it in your applications.
+</para>

+<answer>
+
+<para><emphasis role='bold'>(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.)</emphasis>
+</para>
+<para>To use the vanilla Win32 winsock, you just need to #define Win32_Winsock

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.api.versions">
+<question><para>What version numbers are associated with Cygwin?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Cygwin versioning is relatively complicated because of its status as a
+shared library.  First of all, since October 1998 every Cygwin DLL has
+been named <literal>cygwin1.dll</literal> and has a 1 in the release name.
+Additionally, there are DLL major and minor numbers that correspond to
+the name of the release, and a release number. In other words,
+cygwin-1.5.10-2 is <literal>cygwin1.dll</literal>, major version 5, minor version
+10, release 2.
+</para>
+<para>The <literal>cygwin1.dll</literal> major version number gets incremented only when a
+change is made that makes existing software incompatible. For example,
+the first major version 5 release, cygwin-1.5.0-1, added 64-bit file I/O
+operations, which required many libraries to be recompiled and relinked.
+The minor version changes every time we make a new backward compatible
+Cygwin release available.  There is also a <literal>cygwin1.dll</literal> release
+version number.  The release number is only incremented if we update an
+existing release in a way that does not effect the DLL (like a missing
+header file).
+</para>
+<para>There are also Cygwin API major and minor numbers.  The major number
+tracks important non-backward-compatible interface changes to the API.
+An executable linked with an earlier major number will not be compatible
+with the latest DLL.  The minor number tracks significant API additions
+or changes that will not break older executables but may be required by
+newly compiled ones.
+</para>
+<para>Then there is a shared memory region compatibility version number.  It is
+incremented when incompatible changes are made to the shared memory
+region or to any named shared mutexes, semaphores, etc.  Finally there
+is a mount point registry version number which keeps track
+of non-backwards-compatible changes to the registry mount table layout.
+This has been <literal>mounts v2</literal> for a long time. For more exciting Cygwin
+version number details, check out the <literal>/usr/include/cygwin/version.h</literal>

+work well. Also beware of using non-portable shell features in your
+Makefiles (see tips at <ulink url="http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC46">http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC46</ulink>).

+<para>Errors of <literal>make: execvp: /bin/sh: Illegal Argument</literal> or

+caused by the command-line being to long for the Windows execution model.
+To circumvent this, mount the path of the executable using the -X switch
+to enable cygexec for all executables in that folder; you will also need
+to exclude non-cygwin executables with the -x switch. Enabling cygexec
+causes cygwin executables to talk directly to one another, which increases
+the command-line limit. To enable cygexec for <literal>/bin</literal> and 
+<literal>/usr/bin</literal>, you can use these commands in a batch file:

+<answer>
+
+<para><emphasis role='bold'>(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.)</emphasis>
+</para>
+<para>It's pretty simple actually.  Cygwin tools require that you explicitly
+link the import libraries for whatever Win32 API functions that you
+are going to use, with the exception of kernel32, which is linked
+automatically (because the startup and/or built-in code uses it).
+</para>
+<para>For example, to use graphics functions (GDI) you must link
+with gdi32 like this:
+</para>
+<para>gcc -o foo.exe foo.o bar.o -lgdi32
+</para>
+<para>or (compiling and linking in one step):
+</para>
+<para>gcc -o foo.exe foo.c bar.c -lgdi32
+</para>
+<para>The following libraries are available for use in this way:
+</para>
+<para>advapi32  largeint  ole32     scrnsave  vfw32
+cap       lz32      oleaut32  shell32   win32spl
+comctl32  mapi32    oledlg    snmp      winmm
+comdlg32  mfcuia32  olepro32  svrapi    winserve
+ctl3d32   mgmtapi   opengl32  tapi32    winspool
+dlcapi    mpr       penwin32  th32      winstrm
+gdi32     msacm32   pkpd32    thunk32   wow32
+glaux     nddeapi   rasapi32  url       wsock32
+glu32     netapi32  rpcdce4   user32    wst
+icmp      odbc32    rpcndr    uuid
+imm32     odbccp32  rpcns4    vdmdbg
+kernel32  oldnames  rpcrt4    version
+</para>
+<para>The regular setup allows you to use the option -mwindows on the
+command line to include a set of the basic libraries (and also
+make your program a GUI program instead of a console program),
+including user32, gdi32 and, IIRC, comdlg32.
+</para>
+<para>Note that you should never include -lkernel32 on your link line
+unless you are invoking ld directly.  Do not include the same import
+library twice on your link line.  Finally, it is a good idea to
+put import libraries last on your link line, or at least after
+all the object files and static libraries that reference them.
+</para>
+<para>The first two are related to problems the linker has (as of b18 at least)
+when import libraries are referenced twice.  Tables get messed up and
+programs crash randomly.  The last point has to do with the fact that
+gcc processes the files listed on the command line in sequence and
+will only resolve references to libraries if they are given after
+the file that makes the reference.

However, there was a discussion on the cygwin mailing list recently that addresses this issue.  Read <ulink url="http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00688.html">http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00688.html</ulink> and related messages.)</emphasis>
+</para>
+<para>You must execute the following sequence of five commands, in this
+order:
+</para>
+<screen>
+$(LD) -s --base-file BASEFILE --dll -o DLLNAME OBJS LIBS -e ENTRY
+
+$(DLLTOOL) --as=$(AS) --dllname DLLNAME --def DEFFILE \
+        --base-file BASEFILE --output-exp EXPFILE
+
+$(LD) -s --base-file BASEFILE EXPFILE -dll -o DLLNAME OBJS LIBS -e ENTRY
+
+$(DLLTOOL) --as=$(AS) --dllname DLLNAME --def DEFFILE \
+	--base-file BASEFILE --output-exp EXPFILE
+
+$(LD) EXPFILE --dll -o DLLNAME OBJS LIBS -e ENTRY
+</screen>
+
+<para>In this example, $(LD) is the linker, ld.
+</para>
+<para>$(DLLTOOL) is dlltool.
+</para>
+<para>$(AS) is the assembler, as.
+</para>
+<para>DLLNAME is the name of the DLL you want to create, e.g., tcl80.dll.
+</para>
+<para>OBJS is the list of object files you want to put into the DLL.
+</para>
+<para>LIBS is the list of libraries you want to link the DLL against.  For
+example, you may or may not want -lcygwin.  You may want -lkernel32.
+Tcl links against -lcygwin -ladvapi32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
+-lkernel32.
+</para>
+<para>DEFFILE is the name of your definitions file.  A simple DEFFILE would
+consist of ``EXPORTS'' followed by a list of all symbols which should
+be exported from the DLL.  Each symbol should be on a line by itself.
+Other programs will only be able to access the listed symbols.
+</para>
+<para>BASEFILE is a temporary file that is used during this five stage
+process, e.g., tcl.base.
+</para>
+<para>EXPFILE is another temporary file, e.g., tcl.exp.
+</para>
+<para>ENTRY is the name of the function which you want to use as the entry
+point.  This function should be defined using the WINAPI attribute,
+and should take three arguments:
+        int WINAPI startup (HINSTANCE, DWORD, LPVOID)
+</para>
+<para>This means that the actual symbol name will have an appended @12, so if
+your entry point really is named <literal>startup</literal>, the string you should
+use for ENTRY in the above examples would be <literal>startup@12</literal>.
+</para>
+<para>If your DLL calls any Cygwin API functions, the entry function will need
+to initialize the Cygwin impure pointer.  You can do that by declaring
+a global variable <literal>_impure_ptr</literal>, and then initializing it in the
+entry function.  Be careful not to export the global variable
+<literal>_impure_ptr</literal> from your DLL; that is, do not put it in DEFFILE.
+</para>
+<screen>
+/* This is a global variable.  */
+struct _reent *_impure_ptr;
+extern struct _reent *__imp_reent_data;
+
+int entry (HINSTANT hinst, DWORD reason, LPVOID reserved)
+{
+  _impure_ptr = __imp_reent_data;
+  /* Whatever else you want to do.  */
+}
+</screen>
+
+<para>You may put an optional `--subsystem windows' on the $(LD) lines.  The
+Tcl build does this, but I admit that I no longer remember whether
+this is important.  Note that if you specify a --subsytem &lt;x&gt; flag to ld,
+the -e entry must come after the subsystem flag, since the subsystem flag
+sets a different default entry point.
+</para>
+<para>You may put an optional `--image-base BASEADDR' on the $(LD) lines.
+This will set the default image base.  Programs using this DLL will
+start up a bit faster if each DLL occupies a different portion of the
+address space.  Each DLL starts at the image base, and continues for
+whatever size it occupies.
+</para>
+<para>Now that you've built your DLL, you may want to build a library so
+that other programs can link against it.  This is not required: you
+could always use the DLL via LoadLibrary.  However, if you want to be
+able to link directly against the DLL, you need to create a library.
+Do that like this:
+</para>
+<para>$(DLLTOOL) --as=$(AS) --dllname DLLNAME --def DEFFILE --output-lib LIBFILE
+</para>
+<para>$(DLLTOOL), $(AS), DLLNAME, and DEFFILE are the same as above.  Make
+sure you use the same DLLNAME and DEFFILE, or things won't work right.
+</para>
+<para>LIBFILE is the name of the library you want to create, e.g.,
+libtcl80.a.  You can then link against that library using something
+like -ltcl80 in your linker command.
+</para>

+<qandaentry id="faq.programming.debug">
+<question><para>How can I debug what's going on?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>You can debug your application using <literal>gdb</literal>.  Make sure you
+compile it with the -g flag!  If your application calls functions in
+MS DLLs, gdb will complain about not being able to load debug information
+for them when you run your program.  This is normal since these DLLs
+don't contain debugging information (and even if they did, that debug

+
+<para>If you define a function called <literal>malloc</literal> in your own code, and link

+say, you will run into serious problems if your malloc is buggy.

+<answer>
+
+<para>We use _WIN32 to signify access to the Win32 API and __CYGWIN__ for
+access to the Cygwin environment provided by the dll.
+</para>
+<para>We chose _WIN32 because this is what Microsoft defines in VC++ and
+we thought it would be a good idea for compatibility with VC++ code
+to follow their example.  We use _MFC_VER to indicate code that should
+be compiled with VC++.
+</para>
+<para>_WIN32 is only defined when you use either the -mno-cygwin or -mwin32
+gcc command line options.  This is because Cygwin is supposed to be a
+Unix emulation environment and defining _WIN32 confuses some programs
+which think that they have to make special concessions for a Windows
+environment which Cygwin handles automatically.
+</para>
+<para>Note that using -mno-cygwin replaces __CYGWIN__ with __MINGW32__ as to
+tell which compiler (or settings) you're running.
+Check this out in detail by running, for example
+</para>
+<screen>

+<qandaentry id="faq.programming.unix-gui">
+<question><para>How should I port my Unix GUI to Windows?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>There are two basic strategies for porting Unix GUIs to Windows.
+</para>
+<para>The first is to use a portable graphics library such as tcl/tk, X11, or
+V (and others?).  Typically, you will end up with a GUI on Windows that
+requires some runtime support.  With tcl/tk, you'll want to include the
+necessary library files and the tcl/tk DLLs.  In the case of X11, you'll
+need everyone using your program to have an X11 server installed.
+</para>
+<para>The second method is to rewrite your GUI using Win32 API calls (or MFC
+with VC++).  If your program is written in a fairly modular fashion, you
+may still want to use Cygwin if your program contains a lot of shared
+(non-GUI-related) code.  That way you still gain some of the portability
+advantages inherent in using Cygwin.

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.programming.djgpp">
+<question><para>Why not use DJGPP ?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>DJGPP is a similar idea, but for DOS instead of Win32.  DJGPP uses a
+"DOS extender" to provide a more reasonable operating interface for its
+applications.   The Cygwin toolset doesn't have to do this since all of
+the applications are native WIN32.   Applications compiled with the
+Cygwin tools can access the Win32 API functions, so you can write

+
+<para>Most of the tools are covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL),
+although some are public domain, and others have a X11-style
+copyright.  To cover the GNU GPL requirements, the basic rule is if
+you give out any binaries, you must also make the source available.
+For the full details, be sure to read the text of the GNU GPL which
+follows.
+</para>
+<para>The Cygwin API library found in the winsup subdirectory of the source
+code is also covered by the GNU GPL.  By default, all executables link
+against this library (and in the process include GPL'd Cygwin glue
+code).  This means that unless you modify the tools so that compiled
+executables do not make use of the Cygwin library, your compiled
+programs will also have to be free software distributed under the GPL
+with source code available to all.
+</para>
+<para>Cygwin is currently available for proprietary use only through a

+libcygwin.a itself causing the resulting program to be covered by the
+GNU GPL.
+</para>
+<para>This means that you can port an Open Source(tm) application to cygwin,
+and distribute that executable as if it didn't include a copy of
+libcygwin.a linked into it.  Note that this does not apply to the

+		   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		      Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+                          675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+	Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
+    Copyright (C) 19yy  &lt;name of author&gt;
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  &lt;signature of Ty Coon&gt;, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+<question><para>What is the recommended installation procedure?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>There is only one recommended way to install Cygwin, which is to use the GUI
+installer ``Cygwin Setup''.  It is flexible and easy to use.  
+You can pick and choose the packages you wish to install, and update
+them individually.  Full source code is available for all packages and
+tools.  More information on using Cygwin Setup may be found at
+<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html">http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html</ulink>.
+</para>
+<para>If you do it any other way, you're on your own!  That said, keep in mind
+that the GUI installer is a "work in progress", so there might be a few
+difficulties, especially if you are behind a firewall or have other
+specific requirements.  If something doesn't work right for you, and
+it's not covered here or in the latest development snapshot at
+<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/setup/">http://cygwin.com/setup/</ulink>, then by all means report it to the
+mailing list.
+</para>

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.setup.c">
+<question><para>Why not install in C:\?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>The Cygwin Setup program will prompt you for a "root" directory.
+The default is <literal>C:\cygwin</literal>, but you can change it.  You are urged not to
+choose something like <literal>C:\</literal> (the root directory on the system drive) for
+your Cygwin root.  If you do, then critical Cygwin system directories
+like <literal>etc</literal>, <literal>lib</literal> and <literal>bin</literal> could easily be corrupted by
+other (non-Cygwin) applications or packages that use <literal>\etc</literal>,
+<literal>\lib</literal> or <literal>\bin</literal>.  Perhaps there is no conflict now, but who
+knows what you might install in the future?  It's also just good common
+sense to segregate your Cygwin "filesystems" from the rest of your
+Windows system disk.

+for people who installed in <literal>C:\</literal>, but we believe those are gone

+<qandaentry id="faq.setup.old-versions">
+<question><para>Can I use Cygwin Setup to get old versions of packages (like gcc-2.95)?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Cygwin Setup can be used to install any packages that are on a
+Cygwin mirror, which usually includes one version previous to the
+current one. The complete list may be searched at 
+<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/packages/">http://cygwin.com/packages/</ulink>.  There is no complete archive of

+</para>
+<para>That said, if you really need an older package, you may be able to find
+an outdated or archival mirror by searching the web for an old package
+version (for example, <literal>gcc2-2.95.3-10-src.tar.bz2</literal>), but keep in
+mind that this older version will not be supported by the mailing list

+
+<para>Unlikely.  Unless you can confirm it, please don't report it to the

+
+<para>Both Network Associates (formerly McAfee) and Norton anti-virus
+products have been reported to "hang" when extracting Cygwin tar

+<answer>
+<para>When using Cygwin Setup for the first time, the default is to install

+will have to select it explicitly.  See
+<ulink url="http://cygwin.com/packages/">http://cygwin.com/packages/</ulink> for a searchable list of available

+
+<qandaentry id="faq.setup.everything">
+<question><para>How do I just get everything?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Long ago, the default was to install everything, much to the
+irritation of most users.  Now the default is to install only a basic
+core of packages.  Cygwin Setup is designed to make it easy to browse
+categories and select what you want to install or omit from those
+categories.  It's also easy to install everything:
+</para>
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>At the ``Select Packages'' screen, in ``Categories'' view, at the line 
+marked ``All'', click on the word ``default'' so that it changes to
+``install''.  (Be patient, there is some computing to do at this step.
+It may take a second or two to register the change.)  This tells Setup
+to install <emphasis>everything</emphasis>, not just what it thinks you should have
+by default.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>Now click on the ``View'' button (twice) until you get the
+``Partial'' view.  This shows exactly which packages are about to be
+downloaded and installed.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>This procedure only works for packages that are currently available.
+There is no way to tell Cygwin Setup to install all packages by
+default from now on.  As new packages become available that would not
+be installed by default, you have to repeat the above procedure to get
+them.
+</para>
+<para>In general, a better method (in my opinion), is to:
+</para>
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>First download &amp; install all packages that would normally be
+installed by default.  This includes fundamental packages and any
+updates to what you have already installed.  Then...
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>Run Cygwin Setup again, and apply the above technique to get all
+new packages that would not be installed by default.  You can check
+the list in the Partial View before proceeding, in case there's
+something you really <emphasis>don't</emphasis> want.
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>In the latest version of Cygwin Setup, if you click the ``View''

+It could be that the network is too busy.  Something similar could be the
+cause of a download site not working.  Try another mirror, or try again
+later.

+<para>If setup refuses to download a package that you know needs to be
+upgraded, try deleting that package's entry from /etc/setup.  If you are

+<answer>
+
+<para>You have some flexibility here.
+</para>
+<para>Cygwin has a builtin "cygdrive prefix" for drives that are not mounted.
+You can access any drive, say Z:, as '/cygdrive/z/'.
+</para>
+<para>In some applications (notably bash), you can use the familiar windows
+&lt;drive&gt;:/path/, using posix forward-slashes ('/') instead of Windows
+backward-slashes ('\').  (But see the warning below!)  This maps in the
+obvious way to the Windows path, but will be converted internally to use
+the Cygwin path, following mounts (default or explicit).  For example:
+<screen>
+	bash$ cd C:/Windows
+	bash$ pwd
+        /cygdrive/c/Windows
+</screen>
+and
+<screen>
+	bash$ cd C:/cygwin
+	bash$ pwd
+        /
+</screen>
+for a default setup.  You could also use backward-slashes in the
+Windows path, but these would have to be escaped from the shell.
+</para>
+<para><emphasis role='bold'>Warning:</emphasis> There is some ambiguity in going from a Windows path
+to the posix path, because different posix paths, through different
+mount points, could map to the same Windows directory.  This matters
+because different mount points may be binmode or textmode, so the
+behavior of Cygwin apps will vary depending on the posix path used to
+get there.
+</para>
+<para>You can avoid the ambiguity of Windows paths, and avoid typing
+"/cygdrive", by explicitly mounting drives to posix paths.  For example:
+<screen>
+	bash$ mkdir /c
+	bash$ mount c:/ /c
+	bash$ ls /c
+</screen>
+Then <literal>/cygdrive/c/Windows</literal> becomes <literal>/c/Windows</literal> which is a
+little less typing.
+</para>
+<para>Note that you only need to mount drives once.  The mapping is kept
+in the registry so mounts stay valid pretty much indefinitely.
+You can only get rid of them with umount, or the registry editor.
+</para>
+<para>The '-b' option to mount mounts the mountpoint in binary mode
+("binmode") where text and binary files are treated equivalently.  This
+should only be necessary for badly ported Unix programs where binary
+flags are missing from open calls.  It is also the setting for /,
+/usr/bin and /usr/lib in a default Cygwin installation.  The default for
+new mounts is text mode ("textmode"), which is also the mode for all
+"cygdrive" mounts.

+<question><para>Is there a better alternative to the standard console window?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Yes!  Use rxvt instead.  It's an optional package in Cygwin Setup.
+You can use it with or without X11.  You can resize it easily by
+dragging an edge or corner.  Copy and paste is easy with the left and
+middle mouse buttons, respectively.  It will honor settings in your
+~/.Xdefaults file, even without X.
+</para>
+<para>Don't invoke as simply ``rxvt'' because that will run /bin/sh (really

+<qandaentry id="faq.using.info-error">
+<question><para>info error "dir: No such file or directory"</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Cygwin packages install their info documentation in the
+<literal>/usr/share/info</literal> directory.  But you need to create a <literal>dir</literal>
+file there before the standalone info program (probably
+<literal>/usr/bin/info</literal>) can be used to read those info files.  This is how
+you do it:
+<screen>
+	bash$ cd /usr/share/info
+	bash$ for f in *.info ; do install-info $f dir ; done
+</screen>
+This may generate warnings:
+<screen>
+	install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `gzip.info'
+	install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `time.info'
+</screen>
+The <literal>install-info</literal> command cannot parse these files, so you will
+have to add their entries to <literal>/usr/share/info/dir</literal> by hand.
+</para>
+<para>Even if the dir file already exists, you may have to update it when
+you install new Cygwin packages.  Some packages update the dir file

+<qandaentry id="faq.using.out-of-queue">
+<question><para>Why do I get a message saying Out of Queue slots?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>"Out of queue slots!" generally occurs when you're trying to remove
+many files that you do not have permission to remove (either because
+you don't have permission, they are opened exclusively, etc).  What
+happens is Cygwin queues up these files with the supposition that it
+will be possible to delete these files in the future.  Assuming that
+the permission of an affected file does change later on, the file will
+be deleted as requested.  However, if too many requests come in to
+delete inaccessible files, the queue overflows and you get the message
+you're asking about.  Usually you can remedy this with a quick chmod,
+close of a file, or other such thing.  (Thanks to Larry Hall for
+this explanation).

+<answer>
+
+<para>The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for
+Microsoft Windows.  They run thanks to the Cygwin library which
+provides the UNIX system calls and environment these programs expect.
+</para>
+<para>With these tools installed, it is possible to write Win32 console or
+GUI applications that make use of the standard Microsoft Win32 API
+and/or the Cygwin API.  As a result, it is possible to easily
+port many significant Unix programs without the need
+for extensive changes to the source code.  This includes configuring
+and building most of the available GNU software (including the packages
+included with the Cygwin development tools themselves).  Even if
+the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have
+interest in the many standard Unix utilities provided with the package.
+They can be used both from the bash shell (provided) or from the

+		   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		      Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+                          675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+	Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
+    Copyright (C) 19yy  &lt;name of author&gt;
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  &lt;signature of Ty Coon&gt;, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.
