cygwin. Although I don't know it, I always found curious that someone gets
involved in simulating an OS that is free as Linux. Normally, one should expect
limitations in simulations. With Linux, getting parallelization of Amber upon
OpenMPI is plain doing. I understand the inverse path, simulating Windows
because certain non-computational programs have been written at the time of
non-graphical DOS and continued with Windows. A case in point: I simulate
Windows with wine in order to use Asksam, which has no counterpart in unix OSs
and, being useful even without fields, is the only database that I found useful
during the study of literature, better than a book notes. But, is it anything
in cygwin that justifies its existence? As cygwin exists, there must be such a
thing. Cheers, francesco pietra
