I downloaded the cygwin1.dll snapshot dated Jan 15 1999 and it worked like a charm. I have now a m68k-coff Insight debugger up and running and it looks great. By the way, I'm using Cygwin B20.1 on Win98. I also take your advice that I should upgrade to NT. I have to set aside some time soon and do it. Gus.
