The OP was related to "How to program". From cygwin.com/lists.html we have ~~~~~~ Finally, make sure when you send a message to a Cygwin list that it actually has something to do with Cygwin. What do we mean by that? Well, if you can't install the Cygwin C compiler, then that has something to do with Cygwin. If you don't know C very well and need some pointers on writing a program, that really has nothing to do with Cygwin. If you are trying to run the Cygwin version of bash (the standard UNIX shell) and it hangs, then that's probably a Cygwin problem. If you can't figure out how to set up a command alias in bash, that's not a Cygwin question. These Cygwin questions are considered "on topic". The non-Cygwin questions are considered "off topic". ~~~~~~ Which clearly states that "How to program" posts are off-topic for this list and any other cygwin list. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- 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
