You were being shown an illustrative comparison that was supposed to demonstrate a point about the underlying mechanisms in play, not an answer to the original question from the original post - if you didn't notice that the thread has gone a looong way off the original point since then, you *really* aren't paying enough attention. You weren't being told a method for how to "get the info into Cygwin" and nowhere in Jason's post does it say that you were. The instructions that we are discussing begin with the words "To verify it ...", not "To get the info into cygwin"; perhaps you could stop now, and reread what it /actually/ says instead of relying further on your clearly inaccurate memory. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
