converting .out in Fedora Linux to .exe in windows

Some very old versions of ns2 (like ns2.1xx) was available for windows compilation (using Microsoft Visual C++).

But any version of ns2 can be compiled under Cygwin Unix/Linux Emulator for windows.

But the final binaries (like ns.exe or nam.exe or xgraph.exe) can be used under cygwin environment only.

Even the compiled binaries can be made to run in a stand alone fashion on another windows systems by using suitable dependencies of cygwin binaries (.dll files).
