In general, it is a bad idea to mix Windows APIs with cygwin, since you are going behind cygwin's back, and can no longer guarantee cygwin's POSIX-y behavior. Using CreateFile from a cygwin program is asking for problems. Use fopen() or open() instead. -- Eric Blake -- 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/
