Once again, Eli, if you are intent on continuing this, I am asking you to take your speculation about my motives, impropriety, or Corinna's actions to the cygwin-talk list. Or, you could just let this drop. Please do me the courtesy of doing one or the other and avoiding further discussion in this list. 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/
