Hello list,

Thank you, the developers and users of XFree86-cygwin.
Most of the cases XFree86-cygwin works fine on my computer.
But, I want to tell a problem that I have got in stuck.

I'm using Windows XP. I succeeded copy&paste text between Windows
and X window using xwinclip. But I failed copy&paste when I start X
with -query option. The error messages of xwinclip is as follows:

	UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
	Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 4
	Could not open display, try: 2, sleeping: 4
	Could not open display, try: 3, sleeping: 4
	Failed opening the display, giving up

I added my host to X control list, using "xhost" and tried
"xwinclip -display :0" but it gives same error message.
Since "xclipboard -display :0" worked, I bet I did not wrong
in X control list.

I don't know how the xwinclip.exe works.
Please give me some information or pointers about this problem.

-Sanori
