I don't have a firm feature list yet or a date. That said, we are aiming to make a new release as soon as it makes sense. We're in the middle of Cygwin32 performance optimizations right now so we are waiting until Cygwin32 is well-tested again and ready for another release. Windows 98 support will be present. Hopefully, EGCS 1.1 will be included as the compiler. I will let everyone know when we know more. I am looking into upgrading sed to 3.01 but I don't expect that it will make that big of a difference in configure times. (Hopefully I'm wrong). Linux has the advantage that I/O appears to be much faster on ext2 partitions. If you compare Linux running on a fat filesystem to NT on the same, a lot of the performance difference goes away... -- Geoffrey Noer noer AT cygnus DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
