I think the library function exports have been the same for awhile and I've personally had pretty good lucking simply dropping in a new DLL file without issues. -- 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
