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!! ST: Linux advocates, we already know that you'd suggest switching linux. >> 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.
