Hey,

I can wish can't I? The goal for me is to get NT users at Tut using my unix
makefiles so I don't have to deal with their damn makefiles not working
correctly. Long discussion about Jr. Engineers and Sr. Engineers of
companies we've purchased being stuck in their ways. So I just want to
force everyone to use the cygwin tools and I'm done. No more problems. :)
And if anyone wants a job in sunny Northern California let me know! :) I
know I know.. I'm not posting for job recruits!
