This means that you will not be able to successfully use it on a lesser machine. You could get version b19 and the b20 sources and build it optimized for i486 and you should then be able to use it or cross-compile from linux. ---John McNally wrote: > > I am running cygwin b20.1 with win95 on a 486.
