Unfortunately - it also seems to have a problem when run with 1.3.20 (IE - you
are running on a Win95 machine and have to stay at 1.3.20 currently. I
accidentally took my Win95 to 1.3.21 ( I was making sure I was current so I
could test a setup patch for Igor) and my cygwin would not run. I rolled back
to 1.3.20 and then gawk complained about iswlower. I had also rolled back my
Win2k to 1.3.20 (so they would be the same ) and its gawk then complained about
iswlower as well. Took gawk back to 3.1.1-5 and all was well on both W9x and
W2k.
Just thought I would let y'all know.
