You're both fully correct; I have fooled myself once again: $ echo $MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man::/usr/ssl/man :/cygdrive/e/Amiga/GG/man $ man -W 2 getpriority /cygdrive/e/Amiga/GG/man/man2/getpriority.2 This is manpages that comes with an old version of "geekgadgets" (www.geekgadgets.org) - a project that reflects cygwin, but on/for AmigaOS.

Neither of you commented on this - which, for me, is a greater concern. I'm not going to say that it is _important_, but I'd like to read some words about it. e.g: Is this a "low priority" thing, doesn't Win have something that allows an easy implementation, or... Googling on [gs]etpriority turns upp hits in glibc-hacker only.

Well, I obviously had my eyes more on the fact that there was a patch removing/inserting PRIO_PROCESS into resources.h - not really checking WHERE the google hits came from (as I had typed "site:cygwin.com" I didn't expect deviations from that). Now I realize that both hits I got was rather irrelevant. > In case you don't know it, cygwin.com == sources.redhat.com. > The mailing list archives for the cygwin mailing list are mixed with > the archives for all of the other mailing lists on sources.redhat.com. > See http://sources.redhat.com/lists.html for a list of mailing lists on > sources.redhat.com. I'm taking "notes" :-) - thanks! Is there words about using google on "site:cygwin.com" in the FAQ or some such? This note might need to be added there...
