Ok, thanks! I didn't see any listed dependencies and only tried to install it in cygwin under Windows 10 64 Bit Pro.

I have never tried to use cygwin before but I have been told it can be difficult to work with at times. Good luck with it.

it's not really difficult but it's like a big hack.
i'd rather crack open a linux vm.
if he tried to install it on cygwin under windows that's probably the problem right there. I havent used it in a few years but it's just good for the basics last time i saw it.

I support a production environment in AWS, mostly running python
scripts on NGINX. Our dev folks use a mixture of Ubuntu boxes running
in a local test environment on VMWare in the office.

We used to use cygwin as a local environment, but I started moving
people to WSL, and I think everyone's using WSL now - except for the
one guy running the Slack to IRC gateway who still uses cygwin.

WSL sounds like an interesting thing. Reminds me of the
versatility of Win/OS2.

Isn't Slack based on IRC? I know Twitch.tv's chat is IRC-based
(evidently you can telnet to it but I've not tried).

I'm trying out MCEdit for my editor in Multimail and it seems to work
nicely so far.

i wouldn't use cygwin for anything serious. i used it just to use linux apps on windows but now you dont need to do that with the wsl. also i'm paying money every month for a linux dedi

I'm a QEDIT fan. I found a copy of TSE, the Semware Editor, for Win32.
It's the nicest Windows console editor I've found.

It feels like running a full linux distro in a VM, but more tightly
coupled to the file system and the UI.

Still using QEDIT here, too. Using it to reply to this message. ;)

TSE is now open source. It is nice under Windows but is mostly broken under Linux and seems it'd need a rewrite. I prefer joe for my offline mail as it allows up to 10 defineable macros which makes writing eaier for me.

I had QEDIT for DOS and for OS/2 (I used to run the BBS with OS/2 back
in the '90s...) Qedit for DOS was very poorly behaved under Windows
2000, I ended up using the OS/2 version under Windows for years. It
turns out that Windows 2000 ran OS/2 console apps just fine!

That stopped with XP. :(
