That's good. Everybody on this project contributes something.
I would like to take this time to thank Christopher for all he's done.
Cygwin still has the basic functions from  Cygnus B21 and below.
Cygwin is not linux. But it comes close.
The POSIX layer helps.
I'm on an NT based system, and Cygwin works for me.
I m only a hobbyist, however.
Bobby
