Of course, if you need good POSIX/*nix thingies, or libraries commonly found under *nix systems, Cygwin is choice for you. -- Jani Tiainen -- 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/
