The folk who develop and release cygwin1.dll have made it clear that they're not going to do this, however much you ask. And since they're the folk who do the development, it's their choice to make. That DLL is released under the GPLv3. That means if you don't like what's being given to you for free, you're able to change it to do what you want it to do. Or, if you don't have the ability to change it yourself, you can pay someone to do it for you. Don't complain when the free car someone just gave you has road tires when you need ones for dirt tracks. Don't keep complaining when the folk who just gave you that free car say they don't want to change your tires for you. Either fix the tires yourself, or find a garage that'll take your money and fit some off-road tires for you. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
