	*Ahem*...what's this got to do with gcc or Cygwin?

	As I recall, gcc and Cygwin are _not designed to work with msvc/c++ 
object code_...gcc, cygwin and mingw all have the capability, however, 
to _use/load any MSVC/C++ generated .dll_ and it doesn't matter whether 
the .dll was built under Win9x/WinME/WinNT/Win2k; nor does it matter, 
for the most part, which VS was used to generate that .dll.

	If you're talking about Mingw, that is, for the most part, off-topic 
for this mailing list except as to how Cygwin interfaces to the Mingw 
runtime included as part of the Cygwin runtime distribution.  If you 
want to talk about Mingw, then you should check out the following 
mailing list:

	mingw-users AT lists DOT sourceforge DOT net

	Peace,
