Re: Re: GNU Nano on Windows

I've sent this e-mail about Nano on Windows earlier today and I was told to 
specify it and reply to this address.
My original e-mail:




Hello,
I'm on Windows and I'm trying to setup the GNU Nano editor. I've downloaded 
the NT 2.5.3 release and I was told to copy the cygwin1.dll file into system
32.

Is that necessary? Nano works fine without it and I don't really understand 
why do I have to do that.

So my question is: Do I have to copy the cygwin1.dll file into the system32 
folder to be able to use Nano?

Cheers
-Adam





Now to specify, I've downloaded the 2.5.3 version of Nano for Windows from 
here:




https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.5/NT/





And I've read this article, which told me to put the cygwin1.dll file into 
my system32 folder. Once again to clarify, I'm on Windows and I want to 
know, if I have to put the cygwin1.dll file into the system32 folder, 
because Nano works fine without me doing that. I'd also like to know, what 
is the purpose of the DLL file, because I'm still very new to this.




Best regards
