I don't usually interfere in this, but I have to defend Chris here because I think your reply is a bit unfair. A question is not automatically Cygwin-related because you're using Cygwin tools to solve the problem. You're looking for native Windows programming advice. This is not what this mailing list is for. There are other mailing lists dedicated to this. In the same vain you could ask for the solution of a mathematical problem like finding the 300th digit of pi. It's not a Cygwin question just because you're using a Cygwin compiler and the cygwin list is not the right forum to share code to compute pi. So we ask politely to redirect your question to a forum, which is dedicated to this kind of problem. As for constructive help, did you contemplate to look up the Win32 API calls at the root? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee663300%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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
