Thus I gather the intent is to have ooRexx inside the CygWin environment and
not so much the use of GCC as a replacement for MSCPP, correct?

If you had been simply trying to use GCC on Windows then MinGW might have been
the direction you were going? (At least from memory I remember that project
being straight up GCC for Windows.)

Is CygWin really that widely used for real applications / implementations? I
know, get the ooRexx flag flying as many places as we can... still, fighting
with compilers is not generally considered "leisure time"! ;-)

Thanks for the update... sounds like MSCPP better not go away anytime soon!
