RE: Motif and Xt Widgets using Cygwin20/NT

["Poor, Jeff" <POORJE at mail dot northgrum dot com>]

The only version I see on www.lesstif.org is
"lesstif-0_90-cygwin-1_1_tar.gz" ... which doesn't appear to be compatible
with cygwin B2.0 (the DLLs?).     

Is there a version of Cygwin (1.1?) available that will work with
"lesstif-0_90-cygwin-1_1_tar.gz"?   Guess I'm confused on the versioning of
Cygwin ... I've seen a B1.9 and a B2.0, what is the reference to 1.1?
