Hello,

here is what I get from os.uname() now:

os.uname().sysname: Windows XP os.uname().machine: i686 os.uname().release: build 2600 os.uname().version: 5.01 Service Pack 3 os.uname().nodename: ROTIMN0L020707

No trace of cygwin, which is normal I guess, as the system calls go directly to windows, being cygwin-transparent... Any idea of how to detect cygwin? I must say I don't have any, as you cannot call cygwin-specific things in the binary...

Maybe a test for the odd fake unix mount structure? Assuming they still do that, I abandoned cygwin as a 'bad idea' about a decade ago. Best wishes, Taco
