Subject: rename or copy cygwin1.dll to cygwinb19.dll
6 Nov 1998 22:53:03 -0800 :
Message-ID: <852566B3.007F0FE4.00.cygnus.gnu-win32@us.ibm.com>
Mime-Version: 1.0
To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com

The install instructions say:

This version of Cygwin is backwards-compatible with the beta 19 release. If
you rename the cygwin1.dll included as part of B20 to "cygwinb19.dll", the
old executables should be able to function with the new version of the
library.

Doing a rename leaves you without a cygwin1.dll, and programs seem to stop
loading.  So I've copied it instead and have both.  I assume this is
correct but thought I'd ask.
