There has been notice that XP support will be dropped at some point in the future, but as far as I know, that point has not been reached. As I understood the conversation, XP support will be dropped when the coding work for a new fix/feature/package is more than the coding work to simply drop XP support. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
