While NT is much closer to the pack than the DOS 7 video game that Win 9X/ME used to be, NT4 has been out of extended support for five years now. While Cygwin certainly doesn't want to bully people into upgrading their costly M$ installations, I think it's useful to do that if it saves work the Cygwin maintainers. -- Matthias Andree -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
