I'd suggest that if you're unsure whether you're asking an intelligent question or not, particularly about a new (to you) issue, the first place to look is the email list archives. Common problems are going to show up there in droves. In the case of this particular issue, you would see the entire debate on this issue over just the past two days. Given Norton's obvious error, it looks like we'll be seeing lots of repeated email queries to this list about this issue. :-( Time for me to set up a new email filter! ;-) Larry Hall lhall@rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 838 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
