They do. It's just the sh***y web interface of cvsweb, which only shows up to 25 entries. If you look at https://sourceware.org/viewvc/src/winsup/doc/ you'll see a button "Go to:" and right of it a drop-down menu with the text "Page 1: .cvsignore to ...". Just change to the next page and press the "Go to:" button. Much easier (see https://cygwin.com/cvs.html): cvs -d :pserver:anon...@cygwin.com:/cvs/src checkout winsup This checks out a directory called "src". Just cd into src/winsup/doc and all documentation is there. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
