If there was a problem with > doing that, you'd think I w Chris just sent me email to tell me that Cygwin made his machine blue-screen and interrupted the above email. He needs to reformat his disk and reinstall. For this reason, he's taking down the Cygwin site and ending the project. It's just not compatible with Windows. Perhaps it's time for a new project that brings all the great Cygwin tools to a more compatible platform like Linux. Anybody interested in that? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
