thank you for the courtesy.. :)
.. and i would likely (85%) agree with you that i do not have a
firm grasp on the scope... probably more.. probably less..
but if i had a firm grasp, i probably wouldn't need to ask around
the gurus here right? :)
what i do hope is to be able to get some pointers directly at
potential problems... and why it might be impossible to solve...
rather than spending the time to research each one of them
(cygwin, cygwin xfree, COM, etc) in detail to look for potential
problems...
if the issue might be a lengthy one... i suppose some urls or
general description of the issue would suffice.
