well, both. The man pages are generic, "OS agnostic"<br>

<li>Which option provides maximum advantage with regard to usage -
stand-alone windows version or cygwin based one. And why?</li>
</ol>

Cygwin is a windows program that adds the unix command line advantages
to Windows. IMHO, if you want to use GRASS from the command line and
have the option to work in Ubuntu, use that. It's a more "natural"
combination. THings will just work, rather than you having to spend
time massaging certain unix commands so that they work in cygwin.<br>

<li>I wonder if I would be able to run UNIX like commands - module
[-flag1[flag2...]] parameter1=map1[,map2,...]\<br>
[parameter2=number...] [--o] [--q] [--v] in windows as well in GUI
based version or do I need cygwin based one for such work.<br>
</li>
</ol>

Most of the commands in the Windows gui work well, with the notable
exception of the vector digitizer. <br>
