Q: How do I build task under Cygwin?
</b>
<br />
A: Task is built the same way everywhere. But under Cygwin, you'll
need to make sure you have the following packages available
first:
<ul>
<li>gcc
<li>make
<li>libncurses-devel
<li>libncurses8
</ul>
The gcc and make packages allow you to compile the code, and
are therefore required, but the ncurses packages are optional.
Ncurses will allow task to determine the width of the window, and
therefore use the whole width and wrap text accordingly, for a
more aesthetically pleasing display.

Q: Do colors work under Cygwin?
</b>
<br />
A: They do, but only in a limited way. You can use regular
foreground colors (black, red, green ...) and you can
regular background colors (on_black, on_red, on_green ...),
but underline and bold are not supported.
<br />
<br />
If you run the command:
<code><pre>% task colors</pre></code>
Task will display all the colors it can use, and you will
see which ones you can use.
<br />
<br />
See the <a href="color.html">color</a> documentation for
more details on which colors can be used.
