Thanks for satisfying my curiousity.

We go to quite some effort to make sure that nothing changed from B20
until now, so you should just be able to send your customer the latest
cygwin DLL + sources without resorting to finding an almost six year
old version of cygwin1.dll.  There is no need to change APIs.

>Any idea where I can get it now?

Nope.  I wrote all of the warnings on the home page at
http://cygwin.com/ :

"The last Bxx release was in December 1998.  The Bxx releases are no
longer available.  In fact, older versions of the DLL or utilities are
not usually available on this web site.  Any cygwin program built from
December 1998 onward should work correctly with newer DLLs."
