Mike and Andreas, (Grass list)
I've done the tcl/tk builds for Cygwin before so let me know what
I can upload to Markus' server.
No fifo yet; however, others in Cygwin are working on it. I was in
touch with Corinna over this topic. She left it in my lap and I am
finishing up my research for school so I have not had the time to
complete that code. Do you want me to dig up the references
she sent me?
