Hi, Harold suggested that I post my questions on the mailing list details see below.
Brigitte Brigitte, Glad you like Cygwin/X, but I am afraid I don't know the answers to all of your questions. You will have better luck at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I found your Cygwin/X User's Guide excellent and easy to use thank you very > much for providing it. You are welcome. > What I found too: > The XWin.exe does not have an easy way to find out its version or did I miss > this? > (like XWin.exe --version) We didn't have version information in the executable until just now. I was going to add a --version or -version parameter, but I forgot. Oh well, when you do a XWin -help now it has the version number in a popup box, so that should suffice for the time being.
