This would simplify a lot of things. Although, it still would not work nativly on Windows. However, if GDB doesn't support inferior I/O on the host, it wouldn't be expected to when using the remote target. The only difference is that only a Cygwin port of GDB to windows would be able to support this feature, not a Windows's part of GDB. Thanks, Bob Rossi
