i am working on a firmware updater. It is already written but it uses cygwin to make some unix commands/labraries available. My problem is that the cygwin stuff is crashing when I try to update an embedded system. I would like to completely remove all of the cygwin stuff and convert everything to win32. any help/recommendations on where i can get help (sites, etc) would be awesome!

Not sure what cygwin is. Perhaps you can explain?

Ive used cygwin before, its a Unix thing. Very easy to use and very powerful.
Cygwin is a collection of free software tools originally developed by Cygnus Solutions to allow various versions of Microsoft Windows to act somewhat like a UNIX system. It aims mainly at porting software that runs on POSIX systems (such as GNU/Linux systems, BSD systems, and UNIX systems) to run on Windows with little more than a recompilation.
