Sorry, not trying to be rude to Chris or you, infact I've appreciated
your help. Am I biting off more then I can chew? Sure, that's the fun of
it :) Am I frustrated, not at all! This is for fun, not profit...
Not accusing anyone of witholding information. Just appeared that
he[Chris] may have come across this before with the responce that he
gave. A responce which was rude, but not a bother to me. If this issue
has been worked on before, I as well as all others interested, would
benefit from his knowledge, not anyones ego.

Dont want anyone to do any work, hard or easy for me, just asking
questions. I appreciate any answers I get.

I dont expect anyone to have all the answers, or even one answer.
Look, I'm not interested in a "flame" war with the Cygwin list. If my
questions are inappropriate, simply tell me and/or ignore them as well
as me. Is that so hard to do? Mailing Lists are for questions. If they
are not the appropriate questions for the list, dont engage.
Thanks again for the help from those of you who have given it.
