The point of contention here is the inclusion of cygwin1.dll. This is an *unmodified* cygwin1.dll. Can someone please advise me or tell me where to find out? I'd be happy to replace the need for this dll with static linking, assuming that's even *possible* under cygwin. If it is, a pointer would be appreciated. Of course, I'd have thought that whether the code is in the cygwin1.dll or in my binaries is a fine distinction. Note that this is a freeware project so paying money for license fees is not my first preference. Thanks in advance for any advice. Rgds, DJB
