I am sure a lot of Windows >users will prefer Cygwin to other commercial softwares. I'm glad you're finding some use for Cygwin but we really aren't incredibly interested in people who want to use it for reasons other than as a POSIX emulation layer. People who are used to Windows are undoubtedly going to be confused by some of the conventions we've adopted and this will often lead to excessive mailing list traffic as we try to deal with misconceptions. Also, no one enjoys the inevitable "It seems to me that you should be more supportive of people who want to use Cygwin this way" email that usually follows attempts to explain what the project is all about. 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/
