Yes they will. These questions are asked by starting users who are new to posix but might very well be window guru's. Currently they are being putt off in a very rude way by a few people, thus cutting into Cygwins future potential. I refuse to believe that it is hystorical that so many developers come from a *.nix background and so few if any from the windows side. Eventually IMHO the current behaviour will slow down intergration of cygwin into windows. > That's what we're talking about.

What is the development list for, I see most development done here. Kind regards Raphael. -- Computers will not be perfected until they can compute how much more than the estimate the job will cost.
