Alec,

There appears to have been an error in the delivery your message. All 
that got through was a simple thank-you and a compliment.

Apparently lost in the transmission of your message was the part 
following the complimentary thank-you in which you complain about the 
idiotic way in which file permissions are handled, the blatant failure 
of the "login" and "su" commands, the non-standard tty signal handling 
and dozens of other not-too-small defects that collectively show that 
the Cygwin engineers (so-called) know nothing about security, Unix, 
Windows, C/C++ or probably even what a Turing machine is.

Also missing was the incontrovertible and unambiguous evidence of 
Cygwin's utter shoddiness displayed by your perfectly functional Linux 
software whose compilation under Cygwin causes the seriously 
mis-configured GCC compiler to emit thousands of diagnostics and how 
after you managed to squelch them all, the resulting executable not 
only crashes immediately after being invoked but also causes Cygwin to 
bring your system down with a BSOD.

Could you resend please? We prefer HTML mail with lots of embedded 
screen shots in BMP format that depict the multifarious defects in 
graphic detail for all the world to see.

Thanks. We'll all feel better when we get that.

Randall Schulz
