RE: Doubt about vi editor
This is one I can answer, I think. You have to go back to the reinstall site and start the reinstall. When you get to the point that you specify things to install scroll down until you see the vim (vi iMproved) package. Select this package, for some reason it doesn't automatically get installed. Things should work great for you after that. BTW, I always download the binaries, if you download the source you'll have to build the editor.

RE: x-server with window-manager
Hi Harold, I'm trying to learn and maybe that puts me out of the loop here. But, I'll ask anyway. Is there a place users, like myself, can go and see a list of outstanding projects for cygwin? You know, the one's that you authors would allow us to help on.

Yes, Cygwin/XFree86 will eventually have a window manager that opens X windows in Windows windows. However, we only got rootless support three days ago, so I wouldn't count on that integrated window manager being finished any time soon, unless you are willing to help write it. Harold
RE: How do you gentleuser's start your X stuff?
OK. If my questions about xfree aren't welcome on this list where should I go to ask them? Also, the fact that new user questions aren't welcome here is not obvious from the project page description.

How do you gentleuser's start your X stuff?
Hello again, I'm managing to take a couple of steps a day. One thing I stumbled across the other day is the startx command. I use this to work. I've noticed that my windows are not resizable and do not have scrollbars. Is there a better way to kickoff X? Second question, as I'm interested in learning everything I can about X, I'm trying to write some beginner programs.

RE: How do you gentleuser's start your X stuff?
Thanks to all, please excuse my whining. Gawd I love this stuff!:-) Frank -Original Message- From: Jean-Claude Gervais [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 11:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How do you gentleuser's start your X stuff? Hi Frank, This list is really all about the Cygwin implementation of X and issues concerning that. If you have generic questions about X development, www.x.org might be a place to start. The comp.windows.x newsgroup might have some people on it that could help you. As an aside, your question about linking X calls to your cygwin app does seem legit to me, but I cannot answer it.

Hi List, My first post. I tried to get the faq and list info and the listbot told me they weren't available. I have a couple of questions, hopefully they aren't asked to much. One: On my installation I didn't get vim. And I'm not finding it out on the net anywhere. What can I do about this? I found a downloadable binary of gvim but when I try to run it it complains about the file libICE.dll not being in the path. Two: How is the xfree project different from mainstream cygwin? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frank
