That's ok, I didn't think you were being antagonistic, it's a reasonable question. Well, I think some people might want to use a DOS box for compatibility with DOS programs, the ones that use int 0x10 or access the 'hardware' for console I/O. Anyway, even if that's not an issue for most people, people might as well have a choice. Would including XKEYB in the distribution be an option? It seems like a simple way to allow people to work around a number of problems with KEYB.COM. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
