Programs linked against the B21 cygwin library will need a B21 dll because '__ctype__' is exported differently in B21. A quick work-around may be to grab the dll from the winsup- snapshot directory at Cygnus and use it until you have rebuilt everything with the B20.1 libraries... it's backwards compatible. To use the new newlib-snapshot with B20.1, replace the following two files with the stock B20.1 versions: newlib/libc/include/ctype.h newlib/libc/posix/execvp.c -glenn -- Glenn Spell Fayetteville, North Carolina, U.
