I looked in vain for a statement that the reason that you wanted to umount wife was that you wanted to mount girlfriend instead.

Enough sarcasm. Really, I thought that the spam filter had let one through. I found this a surprisingly significant distraction from an unanticipated source. I know that it was an oversight that anyone could make and that your intent was innocent, but DO NOT DO IT AGAIN!

Also, cygcheck.out should be attached. Including it in the message results in searches of the archives getting irrelevant hits.

Well, no. It obviously didn't entirely vanish or people wouldn't be

I asked Jeff Johnston if I could delete it from newlib once and he

IIRC, elix was an early aborted foray into an embedded version of linux

We're a right shower, and no mistake, but all these puns leave me feeling

the drain and rotated it, it slid easily into the pipe.

"This augers well", I thought to myself.
