Indeed they are and I would switch right this minute, but I can't. My situation (abbreviated) is this: A (huge) windows program uses OpenSSH, comfortably cushioned with two pipes (established with CreatePipe()), to do its benevolent work (submitting jobs to a remote queueing system). Now, on wine, the OpenSSH client does not work (as it essentially runs in a Cygwin environment), so I have to substitute it. On way that works right now is using `plink.exe` (a command-line client from the Putty suite). For a few embarrasing reasons, however, I'd like to use the Unix OpenSSH client directly as elaborated on earlier. Regards, Hagen
