Re: Host Chooser Program?

Yep, There are lots of them :)

I even wrote one :)
http://xlauncher.sf.net

It's written in Delphi though, so can't be included in the cygwin
distribution :(

Hopefully someone will start writing one in straight C/C++ calling the Win32
API, so it could go in cygwin, so people will stop writing their own in
non-free languages every month ;-)
