I deleted Cygwin, searched for cyg*.dll and deleted all of them, no matter where, downloaded and re-installed current Cygwin from scratch. - When I run strace from a 4NT window, it immediately, returns to the console prompt, just like the old days. - If I run "ver /r" from the 4NT window, with my current directory on c: \ (which is my WinXP boot drive), it says: 4NT 5.00U Windows XP 5.1 4NT Build 125 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Registered to Daniel Miller S/N CD600342 Looks like I'm running Windows XP, doesn't it?? That's what *I* thought... - But, when I run cygdrive -s, it says: Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Tue Aug 03 21:19:39 2004 Windows 98 Ver 4.10 Build 2222 Path: C:\UTILITY C:\MEW9 C:\MINGW\BIN C:\CYGWIN\BIN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAW~1 Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: ) GID: ) Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: ) GID: ) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\System32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS Path = `C:\UTILITY;C:\MEW9;C:\MINGW\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\BIN;C:\WINDOWS \SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS \COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAW~1' Use `-r' to scan registry a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 58643Mb 56% CP CS UN PA FC NEW_REALM d: cd 21Mb 100% e: cd CDFS 132Mb 100% CS UN MM9_DISK2 f: hd FAT32 39070Mb 29% CP UN OLD_HISTORY n: net FAT32 19585Mb 8% CP UN SERVERBOY So Cygwin thinks I'm running Win 98?? What gives?? I *do* have a hard disk (f:) with FAT32 on it, but I don't even path to it, nor do I access it during boot. If I run cygcheck -s from a cmd.exe window, it says: Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Tue Aug 03 21:28:25 2004 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Path: c:\mew9 c:\utility c:\cygwin\bin C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 1003(gorlash) GID: 513(None) 513(None) Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 1003(gorlash) GID: 513(None) 0(root) 513(None) 544(Administrators) 545(Users) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\System32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS Path = `c:\mew9;c:\utility;c:\cygwin\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C: \WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND' Use `-r' to scan registry a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 58643Mb 56% CP CS UN PA FC NEW_REALM d: cd N/A N/A e: cd CDFS 132Mb 100% CS UN MM9_DISK2 f: hd FAT32 39070Mb 29% CP UN OLD_HISTORY n: net FAT32 19585Mb 8% CP UN SERVERBOY //*********************************************************** I have a hunch I'm getting near to my basic problem, but I still don't understand what's going on.
