The tools are from: Cygwin B19 (http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/) - it makes Unix from Windows :-) EGCS 1.1 (http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/) CygIPC library v 1.01 from Ludovic Lange (http://www.multione.capgemini.fr/tools/pack_ipc/) Some headers missing in Cygwin I took from Linux/Intel - can be distributed as patch for standard Cygwin enviroment I have the files (~0.9 MB) created after "make install" ready but I don't know now what else is needed (in addition to cygwinb19.dll, /etc/passwd and SYSV IPC stuff) - it has to be first experimentaly found :-) Dan Horak
