Sorry, not trying to be rude to Chris or you, infact I've appreciated 
your help. Am I biting off more then I can chew? Sure, that's the fun of 
it :) Am I frustrated, not at all! This is for fun, not profit...

Not accusing anyone of witholding information. Just appeared that 
he[Chris] may have come across this before with the responce that he 
gave. A responce which was rude, but not a bother to me. If this issue 
has been worked on before, I as well as all others interested, would 
benefit from his knowledge, not anyones ego.

Dont want anyone to do any work, hard or easy for me, just asking 
questions. I appreciate any answers I get.

I dont expect anyone to have all the answers, or even one answer.

Look, I'm not interested in a "flame" war with the Cygwin list. If my 
questions are inappropriate, simply tell me and/or ignore them as well 
as me.  Is that so hard to do? Mailing Lists are for questions. If they 
are not the appropriate questions for the list, dont engage.

Thanks again for the help from those of you who have given it.
