You will quickly find that the Cygwin motto is that things are the way they are because the developers are just mean. Not being one of them, I can't really read their minds but I would imagine this has come to be after fielding way too many questions on the mailing lists that boil down to "Cygwin isn't doing what I thought it should", or some permutation thereof. In their defense, I should point out that this one is covered in the FAQ: <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC37> Brian -- 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/
