I downloaded enquire 3 days ago to test my compiler system (lcc-win32) and I was dismayed that it crashed... in the same place that Cygnus!!!! Meanwhile I corrected this problem. My system wasn't calling 'raise' when a trap occurred, so the workings of 'signal' were impossible. I corrected this, and enquire runs OK in my system. I wish good luck to the friends at cygnus... :-) -- Jacob Navia Logiciels/Informatique 41 rue Maurice Ravel Tel 01 48.23.51.44 93430 Villetaneuse Fax 01 48.23.95.39 France - 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".
