Don't you think it's mature enough? =C2=A0 I think it's already quite useful for the masses, even though it's "experim= ental" and applications are missing. =C2=A0 Cygwin is essential for me to "rsync" data between different Machines. The 32 Bit version is extremely slow on my 64 Bit Windows 7. But with Cygwin64 I got a huge speedup. Now it's extremely fast. Especially on a second run, the OS apparently caches the filesystem structures and rsync gets even faster than on the first run. =C2=A0 Also many other scripts work as expected. So I switched completely for my ".sh" bash file registry entry to call Cygwin64 for my automation scripts. =C2=A0 I think you should make this wonderful 64 Bit version more public. On the homepage there is only the link to the 32 Bit version. =C2=A0 Btw, I still have both versions installed, in case I need some apps that are not available yet for 64 bit. It's not a problem with this dual installation. =C2=A0 -- 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
