Yes, I feel a degree of ownership: http://cygwin.com/who.html But, you don't coordinate with me personally. You use the cygwin-developers list. >As Corinna has pointed out to me, this would NOT be headed for 1.7.1. And, she's right. >In fact, I have no idea when I would have time to work on it.

I'm not volunteering to provide you with a tutorial in what you want to do but if you have specific questions that come from reading the code feel free to send email to cygwin-developers. Again, I'm not volunteering to educate you. That is not, generally, how this type of thing works in a free software project since we are volunteers and the code is there for your perusal. cgf -- 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
