IMHO the only great advantage to Cygwin is XWindows. I really tried my best to take a crack at the the old xlibemu library for DJGPP, but the GRX v1 dependencies pose more of a challenge than I am fit for. If someone is looking for a really MEANINGFUL DJGPP PROJECT, and is really fit with GRX, I would recommend porting xlibemu over to GRX v2. I use Java for GUI apps. DJGPP is my sole C console platform, and it will remain so so long as DJGPP continues it's brilliant backward-port of modern GNU infrastructure to robust 32-bit DPMI. Ben
