Hi Dave,
Is the test version of 'chere' up on the mirror sites?
I cannot seem to locate it through the setup program.
BTW, I'm using ver 2.247 of setup.exe with ftp://mirrors.kernel.org
as mirror with 'Exp'/'Current' mode.
Thanks,
Haro

::This is a test version - feedback is required on whether this works on non-W2K
::boxes.
::
::Changes
::-------
::By default, the login shell is now invoked by a shell script. This allows the
::tcsh/ash issues to be solved and also happens to resolve issues with network
::paths. However, it requires the co-operation of your login script to avoid your
::home directory when the environment variable CHERE_INVOKING is set. The attached
::diffs against the existing default scripts should allow you to check if things
::work.
::
::If the new invocation method doesn't work for you, you hould be able to get the
::previous behaviour with the -1 option.
::
::Attempts to use run.exe if it is on the path.
::
::General
::-------
::
::chere is a Cygwin package to manage the infamous Shell Here functionality.
::This adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named
::shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen.
::
::If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it
::would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been
::added to the context menus, and the associated keys.
::
::chere can remove any context menu items it has created.
::
::Please consult the inbuilt help for details on usage (chere -h).
::
::Known issues
::------------
::
::New invocation only tested on W2K. It relies on windows to set the working
::directory before starting the shell. I'm not sure if other versions of windows
::will do this.
::
::You must have Admin priveleges to install the context menus.
::
::The windows control panel uninstall will not work if you uninstall chere. If
::you are about to remove cygwin, uninstall the context menus first.
::
::
::Enjoy,
::
