I thought we agreed that we'd change it to be resizable to a 3.1 inch window if there was a lot of interest in that. Then when everyone got used to that, we'd make a 3.2 inch window available. We'd time these carefully at six month intervals so as not to alarm anyone. Then by 2010 we'd have something like a 4.4 inch window available. "A 4.4 inch window should be enough for anyone." And you can quote me on that. cgf -- 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/
