Cygwin and Setedit


Hello have anyone used here before Cygwin (Linux emulator) in Windows?
I am running now Cygwin in windows and trying also to install setedit which is a text editor. When i try to run my setedit there is no response from setedit or Cygwin itself. What could have happen? Before it says
that it says "Permission Denied". So what i did is i
change the permission rights using chmod. And has now
the x (execution) rights. However it would not still run. Anyway do you have any recommendation other than
setedit as a text editor? I dont like by the way to use
vi.

And by the way how could i run X Windows on using Cygwin?

Many Thanks ahead and God bless.

Run the Cygwin setup.exe, scroll down the categories to Editors - you'll find GNU Emacs, nano, Nedit, Xemacs, and a few more. Then scroll down to the end and you'll find all the X stuff.

Hello Brian.
Thanks for your response.
I used other editor instead namely, Notepad++ and run it on Windows. And from there i just copy my files from /cygrdive/c/.

Thanks again and God bless.

You're welcome. Yeah, any text editor will do. You can save yourself having to type "/cygdrive/c/" by running these commands:

$ mkdir /c
$ mount C:/ /c

then all you need to do is, for instance:

$ cd /c/whatever
