Here is a quick list of this that have been changed. 1. Change the way files descriptors are access. 2. Added dymanic memory for system use 3. A number of struct are not allocated. 4. Add error handling for bad memory address 5. Add termios stuff to use ioctl like bsd system 6. Added sleep/wakeup stuff with wait channel and string message 7. change a number of places where index where used to memory pointers 8. redid the select code to be more like unix version. I still need to do select for pipes, sockets. 9. Made binary the default mode (No binary/text on devices) The changes will only work on win95 I still need to get the address that maps files can be shared for NT. I known that it not the same addresses. The changes are only in source form. The url http:www.mlb.org. It has a tar file that has both the newlib and winsup directory. I will not make a patch. If you do not known what to with the source then this is not for you. - 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".
