This may be a temporary convenience as a fish giving exercise but it doesn't do much as a fish teaching exercise. When someone is interested in documentation that you don't provide, you're either going to get a query from them about where to find it, or they're going to have to muck around on their own to find it. You also stand the chance of confusing someone if the documentation on your web site does not match the software on their system. 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/

"out" might mean released to some people; that's likely among the requirements before it is incorporated in cygwin. Did you check the cygwin archives to see how long it's been since anyone reported progress on supporting PCH? Are you bringing a fix for that? http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-02/ (search for cygwin) ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/gcc/snapshots/ Tim Prince -- 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/
