Sorry but we make no guarantees that directly using Windows APIs in a cygwin program will work reliably. If you've found something that doesn't work then that is not a huge surprise and it is not something that we're going to look into fixing. If you are writing a Windows program maybe you should check out the MinGW project at http://mingw.org/ . cgf -- 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
