A unix domain socket used on stdin/stdout works with non-cygwin applications. It would really help if you provided an actual use case which demonstrated what you are talking about. Otherwise, you seem to be asking that we just trust you that brltty is different from most other packages in the distribution and deserves special dispensation. I'm not willing to offer that dispensation unless you can adequately describe why it is needed. That will require that you explain how the non-cygwin applications interact with brltty in such a way that linux solutions are not acceptable. Repeating that cygwin doesn't interact with non-cygwin applications is not the way to get your point across since that assertion is obviously false. 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/
