The blanking people's addresses thing you've got right, but only half the TOFU thing - you've stopped the TO, but you're still doing the FUll quote of the entire message you're replying to without any trimming, including all those useless trailers etc. > Now, has anybody else thought about this, got some historical info, etc? > Anybody else interested in it? Should be fairly straightforward to implement, as windows I/O functions support asynchronous operations (called "overlapped" in msdn technology). You shouldn't need to modify anything except the cygwin dll sources to add the functions. See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin for some guidelines on how to build the cygwin dll from source. When adding new functions to the DLL, you also need to list them in the "cygwin.din" file - that defines which functions get exported and which don't. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
