thank you ! I will look at this this WE.

1. what about cigwin ? Is the compiled exe not more complete.
2. could you not talk about Deadwood in your own terms (this is for 
simple comprehensive note to teachers). So, previous versions are 
less urgent (but you know better)?
3. probably the most interesting Linux brand in that context is Unbuntu.

Thank you and best regards.
