I wasnt trying to be accusing. :) BTW: forgot to run my spellchecker through
the last post, me bad.

Hmmm then I ask....

What method is better? Changing cygwin... or changing pdksh....?

The author of pdksh has already agreed to implement my work-around.... but
this does'nt stop other applictions from having conflicts with non-standard
headers.


Side Note: Cygwin is great!! I love technology that allow you to have your
proverbial cake, and eat it too. Keep up the good work :)

The usual answer: Because we're mean.
