How about Win98 users? I don't remember seeing complaints of this nature
from
Win98 users and definitely not from WinNT users.
SUGGESTION: Upgrade to at least Win98, but if at all possible switch to
WinNT!!

In my experience, the most recent snapshots are best with W95, but there is
the issue of the changed implementation of ctype. I'm running Win2K and
Win95 now, with cygwin installed separately on each (W2K on NTFS; cygwin not
working with W2K on FAT). Cygwin definitely runs better for me on W2K than
on NT. As for linux, I'm debating whether to spend the money to try Caldera
with Partition Magic, so I can have 3 OS's mostly able to work in each
others' partitions.
