Either by bridging f.i. the cgi version or a cygwin native. It would enable me to test a lot of nix stuff on several windows stations I come across. I prefer cygwin because it's faster then the windowed emus around. As you probably know especially when it comes to webservers them paths and permissions can realy be a drag in a php module that should run on both systems. Even though php itself does a great job here. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGC3xm8LhtcVSmguYRAgZdAKC5KVTU/eHF2iMtzCfU7PYNcwzzGwCeMEkb pM1J74CdTuKmCYshsUc4x3Q= =oj1m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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/
