Hi, I finished the script I have been working on. Unfortunately, this Pee Cee version won't even finish the full data run as it crashes with Zone Alarm. Since I have a long term good relationship with Zone Alarm, I have to write off cygwin.
And here are the timings I get from my Windoze cygwin machine vs. my MacBook Os X are (comparable machines): Timings on Windoze cygwin: Foo.txt: Elapsed Time: [0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 53 seconds] My Expenses: Elapsed Time: [0 days 0 hours 4 minutes 19 seconds] Y2007.txt: Zone Alarm crashes ALWAYS, won't even finish Timings on Mac OS X: Foo.txt: Elapsed Time: [0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 3 seconds] My Expenses: Elapsed Time: [0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 9 seconds] Y2007.txt: Elapsed Time: [0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 36 seconds] I am afraid I just have to move all this to my MacBook and forget about Windoze/cygwin.
