that's because I was using other stuff. Just no longer. Moved on to other things and just let it all be. > > >After the whois I am noticing that the console stops receiving keyboard input.

I think maybe you can see why I asked if there was a shelf-life. For that's all I can think of at this point. I mean I did update my Java Plug-in. I may have added stuff to my classpath. I put in a VRML plugin. I changed my php directory from C:\PHP to C:\PHP4 and am using some extensions now. In fact I've done lot's of stuff but I know I didn't touch anything in C:\cygwin. -- George Hester __________________________________ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
