Corinna,
Thank you very much!
Unfortunately I ran into a problem.
Referring to FAQ 2.19. "How do I install snapshots?" I downloaded:
2015-04-07 10:25:12 UTC x86_64/cygwin1-20150407.dll.xz
unxz'ed it, and installed it in c:\cygwin\bin
When I tried to run "Cygwin Terminal" I got:
"mintty.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."
Do I need to install "everything"? (E.g. x86_64/cygwin-inst-20150407.tar.xz)
