We do have the technology. Is there any reason why the cygwin DLL couldn't be built twice: once for Win9x, and once for WinNT-based systems? Aside from potential installation issues ("install this version of the DLL under 9x, that version under NT), it seems like this would be a reasonable optimization. -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
