One of the things that your users have been bitten of with the newer cygwin1.dll is that they impose a stronger authentication mechanism (ntsec is on per default). This is often brought up here by users that are have upgraded their version.
Please (re)consider supporting a cygwin package via the cygwin setup - I can assure you that your application will be much more visible if you are able to do that (or have somebody to support you doing that) - I would love to have a maintained hercules environment on my machine allthough the license problems for Z/OS in my environment would make me violate the Z/OS license (now compare that to the GBL ;-).... If I find the time I will try to install Hercules on my Cygwin environment which is allways kept on the (b)leeding edge...- - please do not leave us too soon....
