Not really.  The question is *not* "How do I get ps to display Windows
processes".  The question is:

Does 'ps' (without -W) list only processes that have been linked to the
Cygwin dll?

Releated question:

The man page says ps will list "Cygwin processes".   What is a "Cygwin
process", exactly?  Is a Cygwin process an executable that's been linked
to the Cygwin dll?  Does "will list" mean "will *only* list" (in the
absence of the -W option)?


Make sense?
