You're correct, I should have said 'product foo'... I took Microsoft as example because it was the first company I had in mind. I don't have anything against Microsoft, otherwise I wouldn't use Cygwin ;)
In the company I'm working now, almost every network TCP port is customized. What I wanted to say is : If the port 1234 is used with some X servers with XDMCP and it crashes, some online customer helpdesk will say : "You don't use standard XDMCP port, I can't do anything for you. Get lost." I don't want Cygwin-Xfree to do the same. --- Harold L Hunt II <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a �crit : > Okay, okay, but I didn't want to be that hard on Sylvain as he is a > good > contributor to our discussions...
