-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Linda Walsh on 12/26/2006 4:14 AM: > > Just because something hasn't been tested on unprotected-mode windows > (95, 98, ME) doesn't mean something might not work. Then I will tell you - renaming in-use files on Windows 9x _does not work_. Only NT or greater can do that, and as long as the 1.5.x series of cygwin is distributed, we are not consciously breaking 9x support (once the 1.7.x series is released, it becomes a different story, now that Microsoft has declared 9x to be end-of-life). > As for needing a patch -- as Igor has said, "everyone knows how > to implement this": it's not exactly rocket science to implement. Then show us your skills by contributing such a patch. In the open source community, patches speak louder than rhetoric. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
