Thanks Mladen,

I've actually used all strace, truss and tusc on Unixes - I just didn't
think that one could use cygwins strace on windows. Does it actually work?
(there are some things like tail -f on open file which don't work under
cygwin).

Btw, what do you mean by "seeing" complete server side code in VMS?

Tanel.
