Re: EDM on Cygwin

["Pete R. Jemian" <jemian@anl.gov>]

It also works with Cygwin.  Careful re-reading of the MEDM
documentation will resolve most problems.

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/EpicsDocumentation/ExtensionsManuals/MEDM/MEDM.html

I know of no tool for edl2adl conversions.
It's not that easy since there are some capabilities
that do not have a mapping from EDM to MEDM.
