My comment is about using a Cygwin-compiled version of Ruby. Cygwin binaries are only "somewhat" compatible with normal Windows binaries.

I get frustrated anyone says that we should use cygwin Ruby, because it doesn't even approach my needs.

I fully respect your efforts and the culture in this discussion group. 
Unfortunately, I use Windows because of I need to, not because I love
Bill Gates.

Please don't fight a holly war between unix and windows. Sorry if this
offend you.

Thanks
Shannon
