It was developed in a database program called FileMaker Pro, which has the ability to access the command line. In fact, SpongePACS relies heavily on utilities like grep and find, which come with a standard installation of Mac OS X. Since we want to also target the larger Windows user base, we need to find Windows equivalents, and Cygwin has worked fine in our testing, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Licensing. I've read the licensing pages, but I'm still confused. We're not porting a Unix/Linux application to Windows. All we need are a dozen or so packages (mainly from the Base category, plus a few others). Do we still need to purchase a special Cygwin license from Red Hat? 2) Installer. As I mentioned before, SpongePACS is a product for the medical industry. Believe it or not, many doctors' offices do *not* have an Internet connection, so can we bundle a Cygwin installer that just has the needed packages, and include this installer on a CD with our product? We need some guidance on how to proceed. -- Regards, Sean Mills Grantwood Technology, LLC 7255 Old Oak Blvd C405 Middleburg Heights OH 44130 Phone: 440-816-4663 Fax: 440-816-5398
