#So, you would put a copy of cygwin.dll to every directory you want to
#have a cygwin32 binary in ? Bad idea IMHO.
Agreed, that's why I wouldn't do it =8-o
If/when I start shipping code I'd prefer, to make it easier to audit, to keep
all CYGWIN-produced binaries
in one place. So, correct me if I'm wrong, that's the best place to put the
.DLL?!
(Side point, I remember reading somewhere that Win'95 has quite a low limit on
the number of files permitted
in a directory. If this is true, then surely that's another good reason not to
stuff all DLL's in the one place, "x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" ?)
