Why is anything needed? I find I can create multiple Cygwin screens by simply switching to the MSDOS/4DOS window, and launching another. I use a 4dos alias that executes "start c:\cygwin\cygwin.pif". The pif executes "%comspec% /c c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat". This is on W98. Same end result from clicking on things in the start menu or on the desktop. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer@yahoo.com) (cbfalconer@worldnet.att.net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
