Hi, I think there is a psycological problem here (not with the individuals concerned, of course, I'm generalising about humanity as a whole). The problem is that since it's less effort to read a short email than a long one, people assume that the short email is less informative than the long one, end result: people pay attention to the email that speculates at length on possible solutions, while ignoring the one-liner with the "definitive" answer. It happens a lot, not just on this list.
That's my opinion, anyhow :-)) /John Vincent. >From: Nicholas Wourms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Getting MAC address within C/C++-program in Windows2000 >Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 20:33:45 -0700 (PDT) > > >--- Christopher Faylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sat, Sep 21, 2002 at 10:06:56AM -0700, Nicholas Wourms wrote: > > >Wouldn't this be worth adding to the cygwin library?
