There is no more in cygwin by default. I once implemented a check in the
install script to create automatically the link if more is missing, but
for unknown reasons this does not work. You may copy less.exe to
more.exe or create a softlink, as you like. Copying may be better, as
the soft links are not visible outside the cygwin environment.

I would be happy if you could sometimes scribble down a list of
modules/programs you did run and find working. I maintain a list of
modules i tested on cygwin. We need more user feedback to verify that
the cygwin port works and which parts are buggy/not working. 

cu,

Andreas
