It gets > confusing with lots of "setup.exe"-s around :) We already have three different meanings for "cygwin": 1. the DLL "cygwin1.dll" itself 2. the setup.exe-installed package called (currently) cygwin-1.3.2-1.tar.gz 3. the entire platform/distribution You want to add a fourth meaning? To "prevent" confusion??!!! I don't think so. Doesn't context count for anything any more? If you're on the cygwin list and you're talking about "setup", then it's a fair bet you're talking about *cgywin's* setup, and not some other version. A little common sense goes a long way, right? (except in politics, of course). --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
