I do not know what it causing them, if it is an OS problem or a cygwin library problem. One way that the problem shows up is that the open() function call fails. I know no reason why this function should fail since there should be no permission problem with opening the file (the error message seems misleading). If most of the fetching works then this is the most that I can offer at the moment since I am not a Win32 user and I currently have no access to Win32 and cygwin compiler. Even if I did then my Win32 knowledge is insufficient to debug problems like this. I would like to see a Win32 version of WWWOFFLE compiled using a Windows compiler, but I have been told that this is not possible due to the lack of a fork() function. I don't know if anybody else has more information about this, I thought that NT4 had a POSIX compatability option/feature. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
