Clearly you're annoyed that someone (or in particular me) will not just
provide you with the information you want.  I've been trying to tell you
that you're proceeding from a false supposition and that, in fact, the
information you're looking for doesn't exist.  But I guess I've also made
an incorrect assumption.  I thought you were having a problem using
Cygwin-X and wanted to engage people on this list to try to find a
solution.  I realize now I was wrong.  My bad.  I apologize to others
on the list for extending this thread and adding to the volume in your
mail boxes.  It was clearly unnecessary.

Good luck to you, Phlip, in your pursuit of a solution to your problem.
