Actually, I thought "Wrong subject line" - it should have been "Unleashing the hippo", not "Removing" it.

Does the hippo try to download an OCX or put viruses on my machine?

No, I was thinking that with the PCYMTNQREAIYR that it was possible that the OP would actually think that OCX documentation was needed and didn't want to let the assertion go by.

Yes, there's nothing worse to hear from my eight-year-old son than the words "Daddy? Why doesn't Cygwin have OCX documentation?"

The mark of a skillfull troll: include one genuinely clueless yet minor statement in each post to divert attention from the obviousness of the blatantly obvious "nobody-could-possibly-think-that-so-it-must-be-a-troll" statement.
