-<PRE>><i>I have used Cygwin for various tasks over the last few years on Wintel
-</I>><i>boxes and today was playing around with a build of IRCServices under
-</I>><i>Cygwin.
-</I>><i>
-</I>><i>It compiles without problems with the exception of the tools. It also runs
-</I>><i>to a degree. At this time I have not investigated why tools do not compile
-</I>><i>nor why certain parts of services fail unexpectedly. (e.g. forcenickchange
-</I>><i>gets disabled at runtime despite connecting with an appropriate protocol
-</I>><i>module, I suspect an issue with static modules since configure caused
-</I>><i>static modules to be selected - what does services do for protocol in the
-</I>><i>event of a static module compilation?).
-</I>
- See send.c for the details, but the protocol_xxx variables are defined
-in send.c, which has a load-module handler that copies the values from
-whatever protocol module is loaded. Come to think of it, that could be the
-problem--I'll take a look.
-
-><i>The FAQ mentions that a Windows version does not currently exist and would
-</I>><i>likely be implemented through the submission of patches enabling it to run.
-</I>><i>Since services is almost fully functional under Cygwin, as an interim
-</I>><i>measure, would patches for running under Cygwin be welcomed? I will
-</I>><i>probably look at a native Windows port later this year when I have more
-</I>><i>time available and version 5 has gone "gold".
-</I>><i>
-</I>><i>BTW, on the subject of the FAQ, Questions C9 and F9 are the same
-</I>><i>(Unreal /gline info).
-</I>
- Sounds like you're looking at an old copy of the FAQ. As far as a
-Windows port goes, I'd rather limit it to Cygwin support, because it seems
-like a whole bunch of patches and conditional compilation would be needed
-for native Windows support. (You're welcome to try, of course, and let me
-know how it comes out; I'll think about it if it doesn't require too many
-changes to the code.)
