My B19 version doesn't have any bugs. Why, the other day it >solved fermat's last theorem on its own. I removed that theorem solving code in B20, as I recall. It was causing random SEGVs on Windows 3.1 and occasionally it would lock up the computer trying to calculate 7+ million digit prime numbers. B20 had some very sophisticated DWIM code, however, which was removed in B21 and subsequent releases since the code increased the size of the cygwin DLL by almost 1.5K! 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/
