 How about Win98 users?  I don't remember seeing complaints of this nature 
from
 Win98 users and definitely not from WinNT users.
 
 SUGGESTION: Upgrade to at least Win98, but if at all possible switch to 
WinNT!!

In my experience, the most recent snapshots are best with W95, but there is 
the issue of the changed implementation of ctype.  I'm running Win2K and 
Win95 now, with cygwin installed separately on each (W2K on NTFS; cygwin not 
working with W2K on FAT).  Cygwin definitely runs better for me on W2K than 
on NT.  As for linux, I'm debating whether to spend the money to try Caldera 
with Partition Magic, so I can have 3 OS's mostly able to work in each 
others' partitions.
