Malgorzata Peszynska - Unix + Windows

MTH 655 LAB2: Unix + Windows = Cygwin

Synopsis

Cygwin and Cygwin-X emulate Unix and X-Windows on Windows machines. This is useful to us because

while learning Unix you can use your favorite editor (Word ? MATLAB editor ?) and file manager
you do not have to be set up on a different machine.

However note that in future labs you will use a different (remote) computer and will ssh to it. (Please read about ssh and scp before next class. On that remote machine you will be only using command line Unix/Linux commands, and you will have to set up your environment).

In this lab you will use Cygwin to implement your first programs in Fortran in a Unix environment.
Implement = write Fortran code + compile it + run it.
