Hi All, I am newbie to Cygwin world. I have very basic doubt regarding cygwin. My question is 1.) Why you have designed cygwin as DLL ? What's the advantage ? 2.) What is Cygwin emulation layer ? 3.) How Cygwin work internally. Please explain in brief ? I have searched for the answers in Google,and cygwin mailing list, but still I am not getting the right answer for this question.Or I am not satisfied with the answers I got. Could you please help me out to resolve my doubts ?
