So, my actual question is: I have downloaded the B18 binaries, installed them, and they work fine. But, I would like to run your (Sergey's) telnetd; unfortunately, it comes with a version of cygwin.dll which is incompatible with all the binaries in B18 which were linked with the B18 cygwin.dll. So, I downloaded the source code (cdksrc.exe) and have installed that. However, I am confused about the diffs on your homepage: are they patches to the B18 source code, or to an intermediate stage which I don't have access to? Or would it simply be easier for me to relink all the cygwin binaries against the new cygwin.dll? I am planning of developing for this (I'm in the process of porting zsh, for which I'll have a few questions in a couple of days, once I get them formulated to my satisfaction), so if that makes a difference to your answer, by all means, tell me to recompile the entire library. :) Thanks to everyone who's made this possible. I would never have considered switching to NT full time without bash and some of the more common utilities. NT is made palatable by UNIX. -------------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Kyle R.
