I don't think we want to ship the cygwin dll as multiple copies / versions of this dll installed on the same machine is a major PITA. Never mind the Cygwin licensing that requires us to keep the source for the DLLs we ship available on our servers for 3 years. If a windows user wants rsync functionality they can install it from the Cygwin distribution channels easily enough. If someone was to volunteer to handle all the help-desk inquiries as to why Cygwin programs aren't working I could be persuaded otherwise :-) Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
