Then - how about providing Sniff+ support out of Cygwin (thus elliminating need of MKS use) ? -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Clarifications RE original qustions posted in : How to configure Korn shell (having MKS installed) for the latest cygwin version (just rec ently downloaded)?

We really don't want to go down the road of trying to figure out how to integrate a competing product's shell with cygwin. If you are talking about using pdksh, then, if you already have a cross-compilation environment set up you should simply try it and report problems. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
