True, but the whole reason that I sent the message: "For the record: We are not dropping Win9x support." was to allay any concerns that we would stop supporting Win9x. We may have a problem with Win95 these days because neither Corinna nor I have a Win95 system (and this is not a request for a win95 system) but we do try to remember to check things on Win98 and WinME and don't plan on stopping. So, while your observations about open source are correct, I don't see any reason to invoke them any time in the foreseeable future. cgf -- 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/
