Sorry too, We have been surprised by our first test on a multi CPU engine, after one year of development without big problem (only a tee problem and rsync not very usable (now using robocopy instead)). And now we are close to the delivery on 3 Multi CPU Xeon. But probably like you, we have only mono processor PC, Pentium 3, Pentium 4 and Athlon XP. > > cgf > I know that threaded applications are difficult to develop.

I'm going to bed, thank you. -- 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/
