Tim has already successfully (more or less) compiled hyperdoc using Cygwin. See this thread: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-12/msg00439.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-12/msg00438.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-12/msg00428.html Although the hyperdoc program was compiled under Cygwin, the X server part does run as a stand alone windows app called Xming see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming So I don't think Cygwin is actually required for this. Axiom graphics is a more complex program than hyperdoc but it should also be possible to run it "native" on Windows this way. There is obviously a very great demand by Axiom on Windows users for these missing Axiom features. Anything we could do to solve this problem would benefit a look of new Axiom users.
