I'll send that on to CFX. I doubt if they'll do anything as they're not upgrading 4.4 any more, just sending occasional bug fixes. Version 4.4 was released in 2001, in time for Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5. >Is CFX really commercial software? (The website seems to suggest so). I'll say it is, with a hefty annual fee. It's my bread and butter. I've previously run it on SGI machines, never before on Intel. >Which leads up to the question: Which Loader is Cygwin using? The wrapper is Demoshield demo32.exe Inside that is 1996 Install Shield Software Corportation full.exe calling stub.exe & stub32.exe. Package For The Web Stub. File version 2.1.5.0 Product version 2.02.001 Inside that is 1991 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3. Free Software Foundation Inc. 675 Mass Ave Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. >You may want to hold onto your copy of B20, I am sure you will receive requests for copies of it soon. Yeah, I can sense the orders coming in already. ------------------------- So, is your advice "Grin and bear it" or "Fix B20 yourself" or "Force CFX-4.4 to accept the latest Cygwin" or "Give up on Cygwin and install Linux"? ------------------------- Dr David Paterson David DOT Paterson AT csiro DOT au ------------------------- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
