Even in java where you have packages that should disambiguate names, it is sometimes useful to make class names distinct without packages. Unless there is a sleep aid of other drug called CygwinPM, there may be little gained from the more verbose form. I've been using the same cygwin in the AM too, have I been wrong all this time? LOL. It also looks like the hippo has an svg file, does this mimic the ASCII hippo or has it gotten fancy? I just want to reiterate my support for the ASCII art. Maybe this does connote obsolete as in CP/M but that is a valid point- save the modern computing power for computing and automated data processing. This is like the fine corinthian leather instead of the carbon fibre epoxy composite LOL. > Klaus > > -- > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > > -- marchywka AT gmail DOT com note new address 2009-12-16: Mike Marchywka 1975 Village Round Marietta GA 30064 415-264-8477 (w)<- use this 404-788-1216 (C)<- leave message 989-348-4796 (P)<- emergency only marchywka AT hotmail DOT com Note: If I am asking for free stuff, I normally use for hobby/non-profit information but may use in investment forums, public and private.
