David, No problems, I will do.

However, I cannot get DX-4.0.7, DX-4.0.9 and the code from CVS (as
of
Nov 21, 1999) compiled properly on Windows using Cygwin/GCC 2.95.2.

DXUI, startup, builder, tutor and prompter executables are doing
core dump.  From gdb all I could get, yet, that there seems to be
memcp problems. DX-4.0.6 works fine.  These problems were introduced
in DX after Image Magick and Java support was added.  Also, the
"make install" does not work any more on Windows, starting DX-4.0.9.
The
SUFFIX *.exe extensions are messed up in configuration scripts.

After spending sveral weeks on the post DX-4.0.6 code, my conclusion
is that Cygwin support in absolutely broken.  It would need a lot of
time to trace the problems and fix them.  I would not have time for
it till late January due to busy schedule this month at work.

I am using MOTIF 2.1.12 and GCC 2.95.2.  The X11R6.4 code was
patched
for memory leaks as adviced by Open Group.
