Suggest you just switch editors. On Cygwin you can run any Windows editor, although you should probably find one which copes amicably with both DOS and Unix line-ending conventions.

If it is only the editor that worries you, maybe gvim is an option.
download : vim online

you can use a virtual mashine with unix/linux inside your windows installation.

use pendrive linux

you can use pendrive linux, no need to install just run as a MS windows application, works same as cygwin however this has got all power tools and is easy to work with.
