The OP posted the description of this mailing list but he skipped the first sentence: "a high volume list for discussion of just about all things related to the Cygwin community release." Discussions of how SFU deals with newlines or how U/WIN works with ActiveState perl do not have anything to do with the community release. As I've previously stated, I don't mind restrained comparisons on the order of "U/WIN allows chmod to work on FAT32 partitions could Cygwin use the same technique?" Relation of experiences with U/WIN or other products both postive and negative are off-topic here. As Dave Korn indicated, I set up the cygwin-talk list for this kind of thing. The only downside to using that forum is that sometime you have to share your computer with a flatulant hippo. That seems like a small price to pay. 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/
