Hi-

Unless there is a really easy trick for U++ gurus to fix that, I will go with mingw as I see that listed on the download page. It won't kill me to learn both.

I did notice that mingw options are in the packages in cygwin. I am not sure though that it will eliminate the unknown OS msg just because I change a compiler. I doubt it. I probably need msys instead of switching compilers in cygwin.

I am unsure how long it will take to learn the mingw compiler options. Probably not too bad. I am not a guru on gcc, so it can't be that much of a learning curve anyway.

Have a cool end of Jan.

thx.-
