I really need to pee too, and I've been waiting ages, and nobody's done anything about it yet! When do you think you will have this pee patch ready? I can't believe I've been waiting all this time for a piss and cygwin still hasn't sorted it out yet! Don't you want to make cygwin even more useful for your customers? cheers, DaveK [*] - Obviously this excludes budweiser et al.
