So, if I understand you correctly, the sequence of events went like this: Me: "I'd like to remove CYGWIN=title. I don't like it." You: "Please fix it. I use it." Well, I guess that means that I won't remove it but I am really not interested in fixing bugs in this. I think it is a total kludge. Maybe someone else will investigate, however. cgf -- 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/
