Maybe people are misreading the "What is is?" in the FAQ and thinking that Cygwin supports porting of UNIX programs to any platform. I kind of doubt that's the case though, since I don't get the impression that most of the folks querying about this have poked around the site much. My guess is its a result of rumor and innuendo. If so, that should be easy to stop!;-) Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
