The dll solves many users' problems with random win9x crashes, and is the most stable *dll* of the bunch, as far as win9x is concerned. We never claim that the snapshots' sources are stable. We only make that claim with full distributions, like betas, and even then the "stability" we claim is only marginally better than the snapshots, since we don't really test betas. The most we can say about them is that we were able to build them from the sources we distribute. The only time we claim stability is if you buy an NT-hosted GNUPro software/contract bundle from us. Hey, we've got to get paid somehow :-) -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
