Need help locating cyg_install.exe

Need help locating cyg_install.exe

[Enoch Wu]

Hello,

I recently installed Cygnus CDK 19.1 and downloaded some extra off of ftp
sites.
I installed vim 5.0, less, termcap, ncurses.  They all work great.  

Now the question is:  

I have a question regarding an "install" script I found, attached here for
your reference.  Where is cyg_install.exe ?

This is the .exe file reference by the replacement script, near the bottom
of the attached file.

I'd appreciate any pointer.

Best Regards,
Enoch Wu

You have to rename the original install.exe to this name !

Oops, I'll correct that one ASAP.

Sorry and bye.

In the `To use:' section it should have said to copy install.exe to
cyg_install.exe.  It appears that with the changes that Michael Hirmke
has incorporated into the script that this line of documentation has
been removed.  You'll find install.exe in
/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/.
