Absolutely. Until someone can explain to me in *detail* how
to remove *all* remnants of Internet Explorer from Win98, I
shall *never* *ever* downgrade from Win95B-noMSIE to Win98.

I installed the cygwin binary snapshot which was posted Saturday. It also
solves the "vfork: no more processes" but it changes the way drives are
referred to by default from e.g. //d/ to d: Maybe it's better to use mounts
always. It doesn't solve the problems with silent errors in running patch,
which I usually do across drives. I found also that bash negotiates sh loops
in Makefiles better than ash, both on NT and W95. Now I'm experimenting to
see whether using -pipe consistently makes any difference.
Is there any evidence that W98 would work better than W95, other than
presumably not requiring the multiple steps to re-install with USB after it
gets trashed? Once in a while we do run Encarta, and there's no getting away
from MSIE there, but it doesn't get in the way otherwise.
