Well, then, why all of the fuss in cygwin-patches where you were trying to modify windows headers? It doesn't seem like this is an entirely "unix" port: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2002-q3/msg00175.html So, while this may have been discussed before, I'm not sure we had all of the details then. >P.S. - Many attempts [over 6+ months] have been made to contact >Trolltech regarding this, yet no reply is forthcoming.

Well, AFAIK, YANAL and IANAL, so I don't know how you can make definitive legal pronouncements and I certainly am not going to accept your say so on this. cgf
