-@chapter What is it?
-
-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.
-
-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
-standard Windows command shell.
-
-@section What versions of Windows are supported?
-
-Wait a minute... Cygwin is only @emph{supported} if you are paying for
-it, such as through a support contract with Red Hat.  For information
-about getting a Red Hat support contract, see
-@file{http://www.redhat.com/software/tools/cygwin/}.
-
-That said, Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern 32 bit versions of
-Windows, except Windows CE.  This includes Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
-
-Keep in mind that Cygwin can only do as much as the underlying OS
-supports.  Because of this, Cygwin will behave differently, and
-exhibit different limitations, on the various versions of Windows.
-
-@section Where can I get it?
-
-The home page for the Cygwin project is @file{http://cygwin.com/}.
-There you should find everything you need for Cygwin, including links
-for download and setup, a current list of mirror sites, a User's
-Guide, an API Reference, mailing lists and archives, and additional
-ported software.
-
-You can find documentation for the individual GNU tools at
-@file{http://www.fsf.org/manual/}.  (You should read GNU manuals from a
-local mirror.  Check @file{http://www.fsf.org/server/list-mirrors.html}
-for a list of them.)
-
-@section Is it free software?
-
-Yes.  Parts are GNU software (gcc, gas, ld, etc...), parts are covered
-by the standard X11 license, some of it is public domain, some of
-it was written by Cygnus and placed under the GPL.  None of it is
-shareware.  You don't have to pay anyone to use it but you should be
-sure to read the copyright section of the FAQ for more information on
-how the GNU General Public License may affect your use of these tools.
-
-In particular, if you intend to port a proprietary (non-GPL'd)
-application using Cygwin, you will need the proprietary-use license 
-for the Cygwin library.  This is available for purchase; please visit
-@file{http://www.redhat.com/software/tools/cygwin/} for more information.
-All other questions should be sent to the project
-mailing list cygwin@@cygwin.com.
-
-Note that when we say "free" we mean freedom, not price.  The goal of
-such freedom is that the people who use a given piece of software
-should be able to change it to fit their needs, learn from it, share
-it with their friends, etc.  The Cygwin license allows you those
-freedoms, so it is free software.
-
-@section What version of Cygwin @emph{is} this, anyway?
-
-To find the version of the Cygwin DLL installed, you can use
-@file{uname} as on Linux or @file{cygcheck}. Refer to each command's
-@samp{--help} output and the @uref{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/,
-Cygwin User's Guide} for more information.
-
-If you are looking for the version number for the whole Cygwin
-release, there is none. Each package in the Cygwin release has its own
-version.  The packages in Cygwin are continually improving, thanks to
-the efforts of net volunteers who maintain the Cygwin binary ports.
-Each package has its own version numbers and its own release process.
-
-So, how do you get the most up-to-date version of Cygwin?  Easy.  Just
-download the Cygwin Setup program from
-@uref{http://cygwin.com/setup.exe}.  This program will handle the task
-of updating the packages on your system to the latest version. For
-more information about using Cygwin's @file{setup.exe}, see 
-@uref{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html, Setting Up Cygwin}
-in the Cygwin User's Guide.
