On checking, I discovered that XWin has been broken on NT4 without anyone complaining since at least 1.6.3-1, released 2009-09-06. The VerSetConditionMask() API we use to check we aren't running on Windows 2000 isn't available on NT4. :-). Also it looks like multiwindow mode has probably not worked correctly for longer. > Microsoft stopped supporting NT4 in 2004. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
