This is all true. However, as a quick hack, I tried renaming the
cygwin1.dll that came with the installshield, as I'm using a
considerably newer version of cygwin on my w2k box. So far, it all
seems to work (including Fox).

I don't know how cygwin builds work. Is it possible to change whatever
checks the .dll version to do a >= test, rather than just an == test?
