I would be more than happy to work within the cygwin release for this project. I do not pretend that I would want to maintain this project for an eternity myself and I would prefer a larger community to work within. How do you forsee that this should integrate with the Cygwin project? I have thought about an alternate version that would call XWin from inside the Cygwin installation for those who already have it installed, but I just haven't done it yet. As to the mounts, I had some problems with getting XWin to run without them because of /tmp requirements and font paths. How would I call XWin without the mounts and get those to work? Please advise. - -Joseph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBtiMomXZROF+EADURAsdbAJ9mWrUry9GI8g6V/2y0qEdwFdsQ0gCeNdwx ehjJ69flREuGlN0nloYFFnk= =MnqP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
