Compile Tin For Windows
-----------------------

     - what is it?
       - A Usenet newsreader

     - system
       - Windows NT

     - Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/)
       - Cygwin >= 1.1.x
       - ncurses

     - preliminaries
       - needs ncusres (precompiled version available)
       - get tin source
              (e.g. from ftp://ftp.tin.org/pub/news/clients/tin/stable/)

     - configure
       - export CC=gcc
       - ./configure --enable-nntp-only --disable-locale

     - make
       - cd src
       - make

     - install
       - make install
       - add to your profile:
              export NNTPSERVER=your.nntp.server

     - notes
       - You also need an editor. vim works fine (comes with cygwin).
       - tin needs an /etc/passwd
              username:x:1000:100:Real Name:/home:/bin/sh.exe
       - in autoexec or in cygnus.bat
              set HOME=c:\home
              set USER=username
       - tested with
           1.5.8 release 20010221 "Blue Water"
