 <H2>Option 2: winGRASS GIS with Cygwin</H2>
 
-GRASS GIS has been ported to MS-Windows (NT, 2000 Professional, XP) using 
-the <a href="http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/">cygwin tools</a>.
-The source code is identical to the UNIX version as the GRASS
-source code is rather platform independent. If you want to compile yourself,
-we recommend to get the latest GRASS sources from our <a href="../devel/svn.php">SVN server</a>.
-For questions, please contact above mailing list.
-<P>
-
-The <b>graphical output screen</b>
-(based on XDRIVER) has been the major problem to port GRASS. The system
-is now working with the XFree86 Server or the StarNet X-Win Server
-as well as the generic MS-Windows driver.
-<p>We are searching for developers
-and testers to assist in finalizing the GRASS-Windows port: If you are
-(somewhat) experienced, join the <a href="../devel/index.php">development
-team</a> to speed up the port. If you have questions or want to discuss
-the development, please subscribe to the <b>winGRASS mailing list </b>
-(see above). Before reporting bugs to the list, please visit the
-bug reporting system and read the manuals and old posts to the mailing
-lists. See <a href="../bugtracking/index.php">here</a> for reporting bugs.

 <H2>Notes</H2>
 
 
 <ul>
-<li>NOTE 1: GRASS does not cope (yet) with spaces in directory names. Take this
-into account when installing GRASS on MS-Windows.</li>
+<li>NOTE 1: While generally it is not a problem, GRASS does not cope (yet) with spaces in

+ MS-Windows if you are experiencing problems.</li>
 <li>NOTE 2: When selecting the root install directory, make sure that
-the "Default Text File Type" is set to Unix.</li>
-<li>NOTE 3: You must install/compile GRASS on an NTFS partition 
-(FAT will not work!)</li>
