Hi Igor
sorry about that last message text seems to had a few problems
OK - I have tried to download the setup.exe program from cygwin site
as soon as I try, I get rrouted to badspammer.html - why? my PC appears to
think this is a spambot
I am using windows XP with SP2 installed
I am also using Norton Internet Security
I have broadband connected to wireless network
I have tried IE 5.0, Firefox, and Netscape all do the same
Any ideas?
Dave
