RE: Package READMEs online? (Was Re: How to install an update of the library GMP in cygwin?)
What about $ egrep search-regex /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/* Must everything be on the web? Maybe, because Google will not pickup the cygwin README's then. And people trust Google more than the content of their harddisc. They can search the web with Google faster than they can search the contents of their harddisk. A ridiculous state of affairs of course, but here we are. -- Gary R.
