Andrew,
I did not answer you question
You asked
Meanwhile, just a quick thought, if I remember right you said
something like "I can't use cygwin crypt(), because it is not
unix-compatible", well how many crypt()'s out there on Solaris, Linux,
HP, digital alpha are compatible?? 
My answer :- As I recall the crypt command in all Unix works the same way
e.g. if I want to encrypt a file, I would use
crypt crypt_password < file_you_want_to_encrypt > encrypted_file

and to decrypt file, you would issue command
crypt crypt_password encrypted_file

but the same thing does not work in cygwin. The purpose of crypt command in
cygwin is different than the purpose of crypt command in unix. I have no
idea why it is different but it is.

Sanjay

No idea about why you are missing cputs and cgets, easy way is to use
something other to print and input a string..

Or is it me being on the wrong line?? Using mcrypt on the unix-machine
and cygwin probably does the same thing.. 

BTW Saw a note on the mcrypt-dev on compiling mcrypt with cygwin, they
referred to use and link against mingw..
