I stress tested it and it works for me, but I have heard nothing from others. Before committing to branch, I would also like to know whether it also works with CMake and Scons, as I use autotools and cannot test. > (Note that the code is mostly strange land to me, so I simply trust this is > ready for prime time). I am not expert on Windows programming, too. I simply followed the MS documentation and examples. However, it seems to work quite well. It even works with development/lyxserver/server_monitor.c, even if a *nix environment is assumed there. Indeed, server_monitor.c can only be compiled on Cygwin as it is a Xforms application. -- Enrico
