Re: Will next cygwin1.dll release have the select() fix?

BRAVO!

My hearty congratulations to Mr. Ford.

I'm sure it will look good on his resume.

>>>  *I was actually given Brian Ford*

I thought slavery in this country ended with the Civil War, or is Mr. Ford
a form of *artificial intelligence*?

Anyhow - how much do you want for him/it?

;-D

You're confused.  There was zero comedy intended or implied in the
below.

I was actually given Brian Ford a gold star for answering your questions
correctly.  Go to the cygwin web site and look for the gold stars link.

Yeah, that's it!  I'm just a robot creation of Chris'.  That happens
automatically when you start hacking on Cygwin code, like Chris said.

Sorry, not for sale.

In all fairness, I did answer your question, all be it in a somewhat
sarcastic manner.  Reread the quote below.

I'm sure it was not really deserving of a gold star.  So, I'll gladly
relinquish it if it'll make you feel better.

Anyway, can we *please* just drop this noise now.

Agreed - enough.

HECK NO!! cgf doesn't give those out every day - and besides, in my not
so humble opinion you've contributed MORE than enough to deserve one
outside of this *noise* - as you put it. All kidding aside, the work
done by all contributors *IS* appreciated VERY MUCH and my hat is off to
you. Cygwin is improving almost daily, and it is entirely because of
contributions like yours. (I hope cgf sees fit to include this with the
chronology posted on the website).
