Certainly they were written for different purposes. Run was intended to hide the console for GUI programs that still expect a stdout/stderr console. Run doesn't use popt :-( so it doesn't have pretty help, but it can be compiled as a native windows app :-) Anyway, I personally have no objection to including start in cygutils -- but the sudden appearance of a 'start.exe' command in /usr/bin (which could hide WINNT/start.exe) may cause consternation in some quarters. FYI, I've just completed the following HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE (to cygutils) document. It will show up in /usr/doc/cygutils-X.Y.Z/ in the next release of cygutils. --Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
