The cygutils package contains a collection of simple utilities from various sources. It provides mkshortcut and readshortcut, for creating and reading windows-style shortcuts. It provides getclip and putclip, for copying between stdin/stdout and the Windows clipboard. It also provides lpr-basic. A note about lpr-basic: lpr-basic spools a file to the specified printer device. MSYS provides two separate implementations: lpr-basic.exe and lpr-enhanced (the latter is a script, not a binary executable, and is available in the msys-lpr-enhanced package). lpr-basic.exe is suitable for most simple printing needs; it can send "raw" data to any installed Windows printer. This is most useful for raw text, for sending plain PostScript files to PostScript-compatible printers, and for re-sending .prn files generated using Windows' own print-to-file capabilities to the specific printer for which the .prn file was generated. For more information, see `man lpr-basic'. On the other hand, lpr-enhanced is an MSYS extension which supports many of the advanced capabilities of a true Unix-style lpr implementation. However, it is more difficult to configure. See the documentation embedded within the lpr-enhanced script for more information. The msys-cygutils package provides many of the utilities included in the cygutils distribution. Note that the 'dos2unix' utilities are NOT provided by this package; the separate msys-dos2unix package provides versions of those utilities derived from alternate sources.
