"several releases" == "a couple of years" You haven't been able to reliably, dynamically load cygwin dlls for some time now. For me, it is not an issue about finding the time; it is finding the interest. I really am not overly bothered by this restriction. So, if anyone is under the impression that this is just a lack of time, that is not the case, at least for me, and, I suspect that Corinna is in the same boat. cgf -- 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/
