You're very tenacious aren't you? Ok. I'll keep this up as long as you like. I explained why the issues that you brought up were not problems for a cygwin version of gdb. If you want to give details about problems which affect the cygwin version of gdb, I'll try to fix them. Otherwise, you're right, I will just dismiss detail-free hearsay-based "user complaints". cgf
