The behavior expected was achievable, but not using the chosen tools. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 10.05.2012, <12:39> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
