Subject: nice not setting above/below normal

If I am to believe windows task manager windows processes can have 6
priority levels - realtime, high, above normal, normal, below normal and
low, but cygwin nice can set only 2: when -n parameter is above 0 priority
is set to low, when -n is below 0 priority is set to high, actual value of
-n parameter is ignored. Am I missing something or ...?

windows XP SP1, nice 2.0.15 (sh-utuils 2.0.15.4)

:), Leo
