Yeah, a whole operating system thats based entirely on filenames, even though there's been all kinds of metadata available since, what, NT? But we HAVE to be backward compatible. You know, every so often you have to say: "That stuff, it won't work anymore. We had to fix important things. We had the new specifications available for years." Of course some people might not "upgrade" to the new Windows then. -- The difference between the right word and the almost right word is really a large matter- it's the difference between a lightning bug and the lightning. -Twain -- 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/
