I prefer to send a direct mail to you to respond, they are a little "angry". 2014/1/23 Andrey Repin : > Greetings, BGINFO4X! > >>> I still think this is a bad idea. I know what you're trying to do.

IMHO: This is a problem that "cygwin people" should solve. > Cygwin, per definition, adapt Linux, not Windows, paradigm, and may be VERY destructive, if not installed correctly. I know it.
