Hey,

I can wish can't I? The goal for me is to get NT users at Tut using my unix makefiles so I don't have to deal with their damn makefiles not working correctly. Long discussion about Jr. Engineers and Sr. Engineers of companies we've purchased being stuck in their ways. So I just want to force everyone to use the cygwin tools and I'm done. No more problems. :) And if anyone wants a job in sunny Northern California let me know! :) I know I know.. I'm not posting for job recruits!

I wouldn't expect Metaware to fix a problem with Cygwin symlinks. Cygwin
symlinks are entirely a cygwin invention.
