Emacs on Windows XP -> Cygwin

[Raimund Kohl-Füchsle]

Hello,

as mentioned recently I have a Thinkpad with Windows XP running.  I 
installed emacs 22.x on it the way I read it someplace on the internet 
... not under C.\Programme but under C.\emacs instead.  Works ... only 
printing from within emacs does not work.  However, now I found out 
there is Cygwin ... well, looks great so far.  Now here the question:  
AFAIU Cygwin is "best choice" if one is wanting to have XP working 
Linux.like plus having some Xnix tools too.  To enjoy Cygwin, am I to 
deinstall emacs the way I have it now, then to install Cygwin and 
reinstall emacs only this time as a Cygwin package?  Does this sound 
reasonable?  I don't mind much installing/reinstalling ... as long as it 
is the best way to have all things running greatly ... :-)

Thanx in advance
