No, this is not the code from that site. The code is similar, but I see you have at least removed some empty lines. If you are going to do so, you need to clearly present said changes to the community - something like "adapted from http://..."; or "modified from http://...";, etc. Software copyright - even open source license is serious, and you should give it due respect. -- 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
