Not to rain on your parade or anything but I have a Cygwin DLL of the 1.3 series and on the machine I ran it on, it accesses the floppy drive for commands like 'df', mounted or not. So to me it is conceivable that this is not a new issue, even if it's new to you. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
