Fellows:
I from time to time miss some of my programs AND they are not listed in
the http://cygwin.com/packages/ page. One in particular which is a
heavey hitter for me is "col.exe". I frequenly use the "col" commad as:
man pdksh | col -b >pdksh.man
It safely removes "spaces / backspaces" from your formatted text file is
viewable with your favorite editor. There might be more that have went
this way.
Is there an alias that I can use for "col". I did have it in 1.5 but on
my system, 1.5 was a real mess.
