useful, but without any warranty; without even the implied warranty
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. It is licensed

<p>Mintty is based on <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/">PuTTY</a>
version 0.60 by Simon Tatham and contributors, available from <a href="ftp://ftp.chiark.greenend.org.uk/users/sgtatham/putty-0.60">ftp://ftp.chiark.greenend.org.uk/users/sgtatham/putty-0.60</a>.
Big thanks to everyone involved. Thanks also to KDE's Oxygen team for
the program icon.</p>
<p>Please note that mintty is also available as a Cygwin package
that can be installed through Cygwin's <a href="http://cygwin.org/setup.exe">setup.exe</a>, where it can be found in the <i>Shells</i> category.</p>
<h4>Running mintty</h4>
<p>Mintty requires Cygwin, so Windows needs to be able to find
the Cygwin DLL (<span style="font-style: italic;">cygwin1.dll</span>)
when starting <span style="font-style: italic;">mintty.exe</span>.
There are several ways to ensure this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Start<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>it<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>from within an
existing Cygwin session.</li>
<li>Place <span style="font-style: italic;">mintty.exe</span>
alongside <span style="font-style: italic;">cygwin1.dll</span>
in the Cygwin <span style="font-style: italic;">/bin</span>
directory and start it from there.</li>
<li>Add the Cygwin&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">bin</span>
directory (normally <span style="font-style: italic;">C:\cygwin\bin</span>)
to the Windows <span style="font-style: italic;">PATH</span>
variable, which can be found under 'Environment Variables' on the
'Advanced' tab of the System Properties. This is&nbsp;a good idea
anyway, as it makes&nbsp;all the Cygwin commands available from the
Windows 'Command Prompt' and 'Run...' dialog.</li>
<li>Create a shortcut to <span style="font-style: italic;">mintty.exe</span>
with the working directory set to the Cygwin <span style="font-style: italic;">bin</span> directory. This can be done with the <a href="create_shortcut.js"><span style="font-style: italic;">create_shortcut.js</span></a> script.</li>
</ul>
<p>Invoking <span style="font-style: italic;">mintty</span> with <span style="font-style: italic;">--version</span>
or <span style="font-style: italic;">--help</span>
will print version or usage information. The mintty manual in PDF format can be found on the project page at <a href="http://mintty.googlecode.com">http://mintty.googlecode.com</a>.</p> 
<p>Please report bugs or suggest enhancements via the <a href="http://mintty.googlecode.com/issues">issue tracker</a>. Vote for any issues you'd particularly like to see addressed by starring them. The discussion group for all things mintty is <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mintty-discuss">mintty-discuss</a>. Questions can also be sent to the <a href="mailto:cygwin@cygwin.org">Cygwin mailing list</a>.</p>

Enjoy!<br>
