I think you need to do some research on what "Cygwin" means. What would you be giving these parameters to? You don't give parameters to a dll and you don't give parameters to a distribution. If you mean give parameters to the .bat file which starts a shell, then, yes, that's feasible but I don't see how it would solve much. 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/
