From: silasbrown AT bigfoot DOT com (Silas S. Brown) Subject: Newbie questions 6 Feb 1998 19:23:12 -0800 Message-ID: References: <3 DOT 0 DOT 1 DOT 32 DOT 19980206090744 DOT 0069b668 AT pop DOT mindspring DOT com> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I guess that these are really silly questions for the list, but I can't find the answers in the FAQ or the archives - maybe somebody could put them in the FAQ? 1. Why don't functions like strlwr() seem to be included? They're in the standard (I think). 2. Why does mkdir() have a second integer parameter? - I've never seen this on any other compiler. 3. The FAQ says that Cygnus can't re-distribute the Microsoft API header files, but that it is building up a set of its own. I tried searching all of the include files for a few functions (like midiOutOpen) but couldn't find them. Is this because the set is incomplete? Is there anywhere where one can download the Microsoft header files, and can these then be used? 4. When I try using Cygnus to write a CGI "script", MS Internet Services complains that "The script misbehaved by returning an incomplete set of headers". It seems that it isn't even executing at all. However, when I run it from Command Prompt (with an artificial QUERY_STRING), everything is fine. It also works on other systems. Is there any reason why this is happening?
