No, that's not what I meant. The insight UI is fine, esp. if we stay with the GDI Tk interface. What is troubling is gdb's not being able to load certain dll's from to time with certain command-line args. Of course this problem also occurs within insight, because it's a gdb problem with --args exe args. I do have an easy workaround without --args but using $ run args so I do not complain. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- 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/
