Read.

So CYGWIN was developed using M$ Win32 SDK?
Ah this is news for me... :)

Well HOW COULD YOU DARE...!!
*grin*

Easily said.
Maybe replacing a few dlls fixes the problem but MS doesn't  tell
which dll they enhanced to make DK work.

hehe...what an ugly workaround ;)

Well as I can finally *define* the actual problem, I can even try to install
an
US KEYBOARD LAYOUT on my W95 where  I can switch between
[USA] and [GER].

However, I'm afraid I need a little more information:

*Which* keyboard layout? The one I set in Win32 or the one I set via
KEYB.COM when *booting up* Win95?

In the latter case, I only would have to *comment out* my KEYB GR
line. But I *think* I tested this already and it didn't work either.
However I'm not absolutely sure.

Corinna,
Thanks so much for your labourous efforts,

 :-)
Andreas
