It causes some commercial applications (modelsim) to crash when >using cygwin DLLs... Hmm. "commercial applications"? Aw, nevermind. I don't have the strength to go through two painful IANAL discussions in one week. I'll just assume that this commercial application is GPL compliant. So, I have three responses to this: 1) cygwin does not call WNetRestoreConnection. 2) http://www.dependencywalker.com/faq.html 3) Manufacturers of commercial applications are welcome to purchase a support license from Red Hat. I'm not particularly interested in providing free support for people who are making money from cygwin. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
