The Cywgin DLL has always gone to great lengths to support all released versions of Windows, other than CE. Other than the obvious caveats noted in the FAQ entry which I referred you to, it's safe to assume nothing more or less. Historically, the Cygwin DLL has 'worked' with whatever Windows versions were current at the time. This has certainly been true for the last 5+ years conservatively. No need to fret. It's worth noting, however, that this list only really "supports" the current release of Cygwin. So if you have an issue with 1.3.2 that you want to post, the response you're likely to get is 'does it work with 1.3.10?' David (Starks-Browning), do you think it's necessary to update this FAQ entry so that it's clear that the Cygwin DLL has historically supported the then released versions of Windows?

Larry, I don't understand what's wrong with the current FAQ entry. Maybe I misunderstand the question?

Maybe I >misunderstand the question? > >Thanks, >David Hi David, Perhaps. It's an esoteric one. The original poster of this question wanted to know if Cygwin 1.3.2 would work with Win2000. I replied with the FAQ entry that says Cygwin works with 9x/Me/NT/W2K/XP. The reply I got back from the poster then was that he had seen this entry but thought it referenced only the current Cygwin DLL (1.3.9 at that point). So the only question I was raising was whether you think it would be more or less confusing to people to add some wording to the FAQ entry that specifies that any recent Cygwin DLL works with Windows, not just the latest. It's not clear to me that this additional wording wouldn't raise more questions than it answers. Judging by your response, I think leaving things as is may be the best option. What do you think?
