Uh, too bad. Do you have a Linux box laying around somewhere? The W8/2012 ISOs can be installed and run fine under Qemu/KVM, too. > If > someone is brave enough to give the 64-bit version a spin I'll gladly > provide a link. Sure, go ahead!

I'm not an mksh user, but if it runs and shows a prompt, it's sufficent I guess ;) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
