The changes to Cygwin32 are very minimal, adding a couple of extra defines in two .h files and changing the name of one file. (The string.c vs String.c problem.) There are maybe half a dozen changes needed for the V GUI source code. (1.16 for Windows) However, I am still using beta 17.1 of the Cygwin32. I did not particularly feel like going through the hassel of updating and debugging to 18.0 as the portion of 17.1 that I am using works fine for my class and personal projects. I have not tried it on NT either. Your instability problems are probably in part due to the fact that the makefiles given with the V GUI package link against the wrong libraries. Several of the test programs would crash instantly every time they started until I switched libraries. One glitch I have found is that the V GUI will only display ONE task bar in the Windows95 environment. There is space set aside for any additional ones, but they are blank. The same code works fine under AIX. If anyone is interested, I can mail you the list of changes and all of the makefiles. I can send them as text attachements or I can use pkzip or GNUzip to compress them into one file and then send that. See ya around the Mulberry bush. --James :) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
