Well, Corinna, since you are a newbie, it's OK that you don't know this. I mean, having so little to do with Cygwin, you can't be expected to know internal information like this intimately... wait, your Corinna Vinschen, right? *The* Corinna Vinschen? Cygwin developer for years now? Hm, well then that changes the picture significantly. If you say Cygwin runs on Windows platforms only and calls Win32 APIs, I believe you! ;-) Larry
