Personally I haven't a "need" for Cygwin - I do most of my develoment (home and work) on Linux. When I need Win32 I want native apps to avoid complicated dependancies (and in work case licence paranoia from management). I am more than willing to apply patches to make Tk work, but don't have expertise to diagnose problems. -- 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/
