Other people have answered the technical aspects of your question but I wanted to remind you that if you are supplying a cygwin DLL you still have to abide by the GPL. That means that you need to make the source code for both your program *and* the cygwin DLL available under the terms mentioned at http://cygwin.com/licensing.html. 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/
