I can post links here if someone asks for them. It's extremely unlikely. We don't usually try to get Cygwin working on moving targets. We have enough trouble with the stationary ones. The Cygwin web page says this: "The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE." I guess this belongs as a FAQ entry as it comes up every time Microsoft has a new beta. Btw, what this means is that I normally ignore complaints about Cygwin not working on beta versions of Windows. I can't testify for Corinna, however. In know that in some rare occasions a Red Hat customer might have an interest and will pay to get something working but this is not a common occurrence. 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/
