I really don't know what I was trying to say, actually. :-) Maybe I was saying that "nothing is certain" or that "it probably won't happen for a long time". Both Corinna and I would love to give up on Win9x but I don't see it happening in the next year or two, unless something changes drastically. I guess eventually all of those old Win9x systems will have to stop working and people will have to buy new XP systems. Who knows when that will happen, though? 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/
