cant run binaries in cygwin

Tue Mar 25 15:35:00 GMT 2003

Martin,
Please read the below carefully. Cygwin cannot run *Linux* binaries.
Cygwin, of course, *can* run Cygwin binaries (always could).
Unless you mean "there's no binary but the Linux binary", in which case
Cygwin will probably not be of much use to you, but you might be
interested in something like Line (<http://line.sourceforge.net/>).
