A while back at least in Beta 4 if I needed access to certain includes and values in iostream.h the header was not complete. Instead I would need to make the call to iostream.h or whatever include in the standard libraries included in a DLL (possibly CYGWIN.DLL I can't remember). I don't actually need to know how to call iostream.h. The same goes for dirent.h. I tried calling it however it was incomplete. I am looking for the DLL or library that has the full dirent.h, so I can call it at compilation time or at the Command Line (Somthing like "g++ -lcygwin" ?). I can't remember how to call the libraries while compiling the object for all header includes. Brain clots tend to occur when using VC++, VB, and Java compilers without using UNIX for long periods of time. As for number 2 all my paths and the installation they are all SetUp correctly, and working great. As for answer number 3 - I know about www.cygnus.com, HOW DO YOU THINK I DOWNLOADED Beta 17.1??? I can't find a link to the Hyper Mail Archive... and I don't remember the address? Again, I am stumped... Can anyone help???
