INFO
====

The run utility has been moved from X-startup-scripts to a new package.

run.exe will start console programs and hide their console. This is useful for 
creating desktop shortcuts to XWin, xterm or using ssh for windows ssh clients.

The X-startup-scripts and X-start-menu-icons packages have been updated to
use the new run package.

UPDATE
======

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.  Save it
and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'run' from the 'Base' category. 
If you've already installed the X-startup-scripts or X-start-menu-icons package
then 'run' will already be selected. Otherwise click on the 'skip' field next to 
'run' until '1.1.5-2' is displayed.
