Interix sources and cygwin ?

[Andrew G. Tereschenko]

Hi,

Probably you know about Interix (sold to Microsoft).
But Interix was based on CygWIN and GPL sources provided
on Microsoft ftp ( ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/interix )
[last updates from 08.02.2001]

Is there any adoption of this sources in CygWIN ?

Is there any special CygWIN version for NT kernel based OSes (NT4/NT5/NT5.1)
??
I think that NT kernel allow to build real POSIX subsystem
without shared RW memory for all CygWIN processes with
 protection and probably adopted low-level *nix API
(like a a lot of /dev devices and streams, not only /dev/zero)

Also is it possible to remove a lot of cygwin init code
(like a re-parsing enviroment after each program restart)
using subsystem id in PE header ?

How about making CygWIN memory/process protection better and
allow Cygwin use in Enterprise (not for home use only) ??

P.S> Why FAQ desolated ??
