Corinna got this working for >=XP which means that it wouldn't be right only on NTFS file systems on NT3.5, NT4, and NT2K.

The end result was that neither of the changes got in. 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/
