I know that the above is likely to be a dash. The point I was trying to make was that if you provide a test case you should provide, as much as possible, the exact command needed to duplicate the problem. Having to guess about "echo_server_ip_address" and "port" and if that is actually a dash in front of the 'w', is just putting barriers in front of anyone who is trying to debug the problem. cgf -- 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/
