Maybe I >misunderstand the question? > >Thanks, >David Hi David, Perhaps. It's an esoteric one. The original poster of this question wanted to know if Cygwin 1.3.2 would work with Win2000. I replied with the FAQ entry that says Cygwin works with 9x/Me/NT/W2K/XP. The reply I got back from the poster then was that he had seen this entry but thought it referenced only the current Cygwin DLL (1.3.9 at that point). So the only question I was raising was whether you think it would be more or less confusing to people to add some wording to the FAQ entry that specifies that any recent Cygwin DLL works with Windows, not just the latest. It's not clear to me that this additional wording wouldn't raise more questions than it answers. Judging by your response, I think leaving things as is may be the best option. What do you think?
