RE: cygwin1.dll bug in ftime


Hi,

the serious misunderstanding is that something being
standard conformant doesn't mean it is much usable.
Prime example is original MS Posix subsystem:
Just enough fulfilling the requirements for selling to
US government, but not usable for writing anything more
complex than cat, or else whole cygwin wouldn't exist!

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-scm.com)
