Sigh. What in the WORLD are you talking about? Did you actually READ the code? It is easy enough to download and inspectable with any simple text editor. It is not brain surgey or rocket science! It's just C++ code! (Is this what you were expecting? :-)) But, seriously, FWIW, everything you said was 100% correct. You're impressed by the way cygwin handles exec and I'm impressed that you figured it out. Thank you for the cogent explanation. I look forward to your patch. If your patch is going to be substantial, however, you might want to check out the contributing link at http://cygwin.com/ . You don't have to join cygwin-developers if you are not interested in becoming a full-time contributor but you might have to fill out an assignment form if your patch is more than a few lines. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
