The Cygwin version is nice in speed and functionality, but from
my experience does not emulate a VT100 enough to use vi to edit
a file.  It identifies its term type as "cygwin", which defaults
to "dumb" on several existing ISPs and Solaris hosts, then when
I specifically set the TERM= variable to a VT100, VT220, or dtterm
(for Solaris) it doesn't display the edited file with any
particular attention to line and cursor alignment, not to mention
backward scrolling.
