Not quite an exact match: the new installation lacked several entries of the form /bin/cyg*dll, /etc/peremove/*.done, /etc/setup/*gz and others which I won't bother detailing here; but in particular the new installation is missing ALL of the executable /bin/twm.exe the file /etc/setup/twm.lst.gz the directory /usr/share/X11/twm the directory /usr/share/doc/twm the directory/usr/share/man/man1/twm.1.gz and yet: in setup.ini it appears that @ xinit requires: .. twm .. So how is it that twm has been "missed" in the new installation? (I am guessing / hoping that when this conundrum is solved and twm recovered - if that is what the solution entails - then the other missing * files might also be recovered.) Thank you!
