Christopher, This reply puzzles me. What is the point of cygwin if not to support interoperability between win32 and unix environments? If all I wanted was an all-unix environment on a 386 box, I'd run linux not cygwin. To me, the great advantage of cygwin over linux is that I can (mostly) mix and match Unix and Win32 apps (win32 Java under cygwin bash being the notable exception :-) Greg.
