Keyboard emulator? I'm sure Corinna will prove me wrong, but that's pretty
low-level stuff. I ask again, are you sure it's a Cygwin issue? BTW I'm
class of '75 myself...still like UNIX/Linux/Cygwin, frustrating though it
can be...

By and large I think it is a matter of incantation over ability.
If there is something wanting in the cygwin, and others
are willing to help me aim, I'll code the fix myself, but
at present I'm not tool equipped "yet" to start fixing
holes in the tools.

I simply want to code a global windows keyboard hook for the blind.
This involves some sort of shared global variables,
yet , even after wading through the re-think involved
in cygwin, I've not seen example , help or anything but abuse
in my quest to figure a way through , even if I were to code a fix
myself.

I'm sure there are folks here a bit more sane. I can make docs,
fix broken code and otherwise apply my skills born of work since the
seventies,
covering many platforms , but it is quid pro quo. CYGWIN helps me
I help the blind , and I fix anything I can along the way.

That's about as nice as I can put it.
