Risposta al messaggio di Larry Hall (Cygwin) :

> I'm curious why you query the list for help instead of your original source.


Since, I suppose that the author doesn't know the answer, because I 
suppose, that if he knew the answer would have written it directly in 
article. In past I have always asked in this newsgroup for Cygwin 
related problems, always with good and satisfactory answers, like in 
this occasion
And asking in newsgroup I could easily save the thread archiving it in TB.
