But Interix was based on CygWIN and GPL sources provided on Microsoft ftp (ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/interix) [last updates from 08.02.2001] Is there any adoption of this sources in CygWIN ? Is there any special CygWIN version for NT kernel based OSes (NT4/NT5/NT5.1) ?? I think that NT kernel allow to build real POSIX subsystem without shared RW memory for all CygWIN processes with protection and probably adopted low-level *nix API (like a a lot of /dev devices and streams, not only /dev/zero) Also is it possible to remove a lot of cygwin init code (like a re-parsing enviroment after each program restart) using subsystem id in PE header ? How about making CygWIN memory/process protection better and allow Cygwin use in Enterprise (not for home use only) ?? P.S> Why FAQ desolated ??
