Interix is Posix (mostly) on NT, with fast fork.<BR>
Cygwin in comparison is very slow.<BR>
However SIGINFO is not available. Nor is "direct suspend" using a pthread_t I believe.<BR>
The older Interix version on XP does not allow access to any Win32 functions.<BR>
Newer versions do.<BR>
This does seem to be a pretty useful platfom.<BR>
Gui should be available too, but I have to work around some problem.<BR>
