I don't see the difference. If you don't get the desired results, explain the setting you test and what you did. Let's discuss it. If it's a bug, I'll fix the bug. If it's a misunderstanding on your part, let's try to improve the documentation. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
