I'm not sure why this was copied to the cygwin list; it reads like a personal email. However, many of the capabilities you list are already available from standard cygwin packages. The 'cygutils' package provides putclip/getclip, a stdio interface to the windows clipboard (there's also /dev/clipboard, but that's another story). Upcoming (current?) cygwin kernels provide direct access to the registry via /proc/registry(?). Also, cygwin has LONG shipped with 'regtool' which allows registry manipulation. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
