I was not asking for money. I was responding to your prosaic description of an unrelated problem to show that it was a completely different problem domain. Perseverence in getting someone to donate money or books could yield success. Perseverence in reporting that you have a problem while providing no details for tracking the problem down and adamantly maintaining that you will not be able to debug the problem yourself is not useful. I'm not even going to put an "IMO" in there because it should be pretty obvious to anyone that lives in the world that repeatedly complaining about intractable problems rarely yields positive results. cgf -- 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/
