I don't follow. Like I said, my impression of *.forsale is that they are like classifieds... i.e. EVERYTHING there is advertisement.

Cygwin's NOT Linux? :-) I guess it does *look* like Linux, though, but Linux looks like POSIX. Since { a => b, b => c } <=> { a => c }, Cygwin looks like POSIX; QED. :-) http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Transitive.html -- Matthew Feed the hippo. Love the hippo. Run from the hippo.
