+Using w3m on Cygwin
+
+ 2003/02/20
+ Katsuyuki Watanabe
+ Dai Sato
+
+You can use w3m on Windows with a UNIX compatible environment "Cygwin". For
+detailed information of Cygwin, See http://cygwin.com/.
+
+Build
+
+After w3m-0.2, patches for Cygwin have been marged to w3m packages. If you use
+cygwin-1.1.4 or later, w3m shuould be build without any problems.
+
+The newest version of termcap and ncurses package are recomended. Especially,
+older versions of termcap have bugs in the entry for Cygwin which make the
+screen collapsed. The problem was fixed in termcap-20001020-1.
+
+Please make sure to execute ./configure before the make. The macros explained
+in "Macros" are defined by ./configure, and they are nessary to make this
+package. When you have some problem in making w3m, please check the points
+below:
+
+ o Do make veryclean, then exec ./configure && make.
+ o Check gcc and binutils are properly installed. setup.exe might have
+ finished without reporting any errors, though the download of package
+ files was end in failure. In this case, you should try to setup again.
+
+Using Cygwin with Win95/98/ME, configure will not run correctly when
+environment variable CYGWIN includes "ntsec" and/or "ntea", because shell
+scripts will not have executable attribute. It is recomended to remove "ntsec"
+and "ntea" from environment variable CYGWIN to load cygwin1.dll for the first
+time.
+
+Macros
+
+The macros below are defined in config.h for Cygwin environment.
+
+USE_BINMODE_STREAM
+ With -dump, -dump_{head,source,both,extra} option, output to stdout are
+ done in binary mode. It might not been needed with cygwin-1.3.11 or later,
+ but remained for safe.
+ In common with Cygwin and EMX.
+SUPPORT_DOS_DRIVE_PREFIX
+ The path names are handled as file names when they includes drive letters
+ like "C:", "C:/", "file://C:/", "file://C|/", and so on.
+ In common with Cygwin and EMX.
+SUPPORT_NETBIOS_SHARE
+ URIs of common resources of NETBIOS in "//NETBIOSHOST/SHARE/PATH",
+ "file://NETBIOSHOST/SHARE/PATH" format are handled as file: schema instead
+ of ftp: schema.
+ Only for Cygwin environments.
+SUPPORT_WIN9X_CONSOLE_MBCS
+ Search and line input to forms are supported. But input through IME is
+ available only with the local console when TERM=cygwin, and environment
+ variable CYGWIN is not include "tty". The restrictions avoid the problems
+ of the DOS prompt of Win9x and tty layer of Cygwin. For WinNT, the macro
+ doesn't change any behavior of w3m, IME is always available with local
+ consoles.
+ Only for Cygwin environments and LANG=JA.
+
+Cooperation with Native Applications
+
+When calling the Win32 Native Abblications, "File not found" errors might be
+raised because of difference in formats of path name between Win32 and UNIX.
+
+Local CGIs
+
+Local CGIs in $LIB (/usr/local/lib/w3m/cgi-bin by default) use /usr/bin/perl.
+If you want to use ActivePerl (a native application) and so on, please modify
+the each scripts in $LIB with wrapper scripts as follows:
+
+------ /usr/local/bin/winperl ------
+#!/bin/sh
+# wrapper script for Win32 Native Perl
+PERL=/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl.exe
+case $1 in
+ -*)
+ ;;
+ *)
+ SCRIPT=`cygpath -w $1`
+ shift
+ ;;
+esac
+exec "$PERL" "$SCRIPT" $@
+------------------------------------
+
+Where the PERL= is the path of Native Perl in Cygwin context. cygpath
+utilities come with Cygwin packages.
+
+For directory listing, when "Use external program for directory listing" is
+set "NO", you can browse the directory list without local CGIs.
+
+Editors
+
+w3m uses external editors to operate texts textareas and so on. You can use
+any native application as the external editor with the script as below:
+
+------ /usr/local/lib/w3m/winedit ------
+#!/bin/sh
+EDITOR='/cygdrive/c/Program Files/sakura/sakura.exe'
+FILE=`cygpath -a -w $1`
+exec "$EDITOR" "$FILE"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Where the EDITOR= is the path of Native Perl in Cygwin context.
+
+If you use inetd as a service in WinWinNT and connect to localhost by telnet,
+the windows will be opened only if "デスクトップとの対話をサービスに許可" is
+ON.
+
+Known Bugs
+
+LF is converted to CR+LF when use -dump or -dump-source options.
+ Make sure USE_BINMODE_STREAM was defined in compilation. Try to
+ re-configure and make, or set binmode to the environment variable CYGWIN.
+Can't input through IME in DOS prompt of Win9x.
+ When "tty" is included in the environment variable CYGWIN, it is not
+ permitted to avoid problems in tty layer of Cygwin. Remove "tty" from
+ CYGWIN.
+Cursor keys doesn't work when IME is ON in DOS prompt of Win9x.
+ This is the problem of DOS prompt of Win9x and tty layer of Cygwin. Use
+ C-f, C-b, C-p, and C-n instead.
+Screen is not controled correctly in command prompt of WinNT.
+ Set the each size of screen buffer and window in a same value, and/or
+ disable the back scrolling.
+Can't use the mouse with DOS prompt or command prompt.
+ When "簡易編集モード" is ON, mouse events are not handed to w3m. Set it
+ OFF.
+Mouse buttons behave funny with DOS prompt or command prompt.
+ In cygwin-1.3.15 or earlier, the escape sequence of the right and center
+ button of the mouse are inverted. It is fixed in cygwin-1.3.16-1. Please
+ make w3m in the environment you use, because w3m can't judge the versions
+ of Cygwin perfectly,
+
+Others
+
+In Cygwin environment, it should be confortable to use not DOS prompt or
+command prompt but telnet clients like TeraTerm, PuTTY, and so on with inetd
+in localhost, or other tools as rxvt or cygterm.
