Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Cygwin (pronounced , ) is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications, data, and other system resources with applications, software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment. Thus it is possible to launch Windows applications from the Cygwin environment, as well as to use Cygwin tools and applications within the Windows operating context. Cygwin consists of two parts: a Dynamic-link library (DLL) as an API compatibility layer providing a substantial part of the POSIX API functionality, and an extensive collection of software tools and applications that provide a Unix-like look and feel. Cygwin was originally developed by Cygnus Solutions, which was later acquired by Red Hat. It is free and open source software, released under the GNU General Public License version 2. Today it is maintained by employees of Red Hat, NetApp and many other volunteers. Cygwin consists of a library that implements the POSIX system call API in terms of Win32 system calls, a GNU development toolchain (such as GCC and GDB) to allow software development, and a large number of application programs equivalent to those on the Unix system. Many Unix programs have been ported to Cygwin, including the X Window System, KDE, GNOME, Apache, and TeX. Cygwin permits installing inetd, syslogd, sshd, Apache, and other daemons as standard Windows services, allowing Microsoft Windows systems to emulate Unix and Linux servers. Cygwin programs are installed by running Cygwin's "setup" program, which downloads the necessary program and feature package files from repositories on the Internet. Setup can install, update, and remo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6840 ... Read more

Product Description
"122 Experiments with the 16-bit 8096 Single-chip Microcomputer" employs Intel's iSBE-96 emulator as the learning vehicle. The 8096, with its High Speed Input/Output Units, is an extraordinarily powerful, microcontroller, in all areas of industrial controls, guidance, modems, telecommunications, and whenever precise, fast output event/time control and input event/time snapshots are essential. In addition, the 8096's fast arithmetic in number crunching and its versatile Serial I/O communications port make it a microcomputer with far ranging applicability. Chapter 1 presents the relevant 8096 information. Chapter 2's experiments take the reader through the iSBE-96 and its commands. The experiments in Chapter 3 illustrate the 8096's versatile instruction set. Chapter 4 explores, in depth, the powerful and intricate 8096 interrupt system. In Chapter 5, the 8096's Special Function Registers are covered in detail in 25 experiments. The SFRs are the key to the 8096. Chapter 6 presents 26 applications featuring the SFRs, with emphasis on the HIS/O units. Chapter 7 and 8 demonstrate 8096 arithmetic and Serial I/O capability. In Chapter 9, a with range of general applications are presented.Chapter 10's experiments cover some of the current software/hardware tools available with the 8096, particularly PLM-96. How to learn the 8096? With this book of 122 experiments. ... Read more
