Sorry, I never received any more communication from you after the message I quoted. Although, I did ping you once about a month later. Again, there was no response. I was about to ping again when I saw this message. > Since there is confusion about what is on both of our machines, the best > thing for you to do would be to take a clean Windows image under VMWare, > install Cygwin on it, I don't have access to VMWare, or the time to build a Windows system with Cygwin from scratch for this. That really seems silly to me. Isn't a comparison of cygcheck output all that should be necessary to determine any differences? Alternatively, we could get an impartial third party opinion (ie. have someone else do a source build of lesstif-0.94.4, and check it with nedit)? > compile the two packages and see what happens. I only compiled the one (lesstif) and had the old nedit use the resulting cygXm-2.dll (confirmed by cygcheck output). That is all that's required. > Make sure that you do more with nedit than just opening it up... you > actually need to open some files and play around in order to get it to > crash (sometimes). If you want me to play around, you'll need to be more specific. It opened a file fine, and that's where I stopped. I have now opened a few files, done some edits, a few cut and pastes, a save, etc... I don't use nedit, thus I can't stress it much. I am confused, though. The crash you presented to me was one of not being able to start nedit at all: Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2005 17:09:32 -0700 From: Harold L Hunt To: Brian.Ford Subject: Re: lesstif update request Brian, Nope, 0.94.4 doesn't work with nedit: --------------------------- nedit.exe - Application Error --------------------------- The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).

I have gotten used to doing a reply all for my normal mail here at work and did it out of habit. I do honor Reply To, though. I noticed it, but thought you had asked for it with Reply To.
