This question may seem kind of basic but how do emulators work? With UNIX, you have a program called the shell (csh, bash, etc.) that interprets commands and calls up different utilities (ls, cp, grep, etc.). However, cygwin sits inside Windows and is connected to windows. For example, my home directory is /home/Christopher Spears/, which would never happen in UNIX because of the space in my name. Is cygwin really UNIX or is it something different?
