Thanks AJ. gdbm is next on my list for cygwin, but I'm kinda swamped right now. I'll try to get to releasing an updated version soon. --Chuck AJ Reins wrote: > diff -urN gdbm-1.8.0.old/gdbmopen.c > gdbm-1.8.0/gdbmopen.c > --- gdbm-1.8.0.old/gdbmopen.c Sat Jul 29 22:46:42 2000 > +++ gdbm-1.8

Ms. Hanprasert, I'm not sure kindness is exactly the predominant mood here, but answers can be gotten, if solicited just so... Since your questions appear to be about using XFree86 for Cygwin, you probably want to ask on the mailing list devoted specifically to that topic area. Look here fo

I have cron running on a Win98 machine under cygwin 1.3.9. On the whole, it's working pretty well with the exception that new crontabs placed in the /var/cron/tabs folder (by crontab) do not seem to have their modification times touched so cron doesn't recognize changes in them and run the new in
