The Usenix paper is very dated, though. Many of the things that it talks about are no longer true, e.g., Cygwin doesn't invent its own pids anymore and the discussion of signals is no longer applicable. That's why that paper was deleted from the cygwin site a while ago. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
