When I did an initial search in the packages for ssh, I didn't notice that the
list was truncated and therefore openssh didn't show up in the list. The
search should not die after 30 entries, it should split it into pages.
I suppose I better update my installation. I may be in trouble as uname says
that it is: CYGWIN_NT-5.1
cygcheck version 1.88

So, what is this, 1.5.x or 1.7.x? I'm guessing 1.5.x as I do not have a fstab
file.
The main web page has the following:
"PLEASE read the User's Guide before upgrading your Cygwin installation to 1.7.
You'll be avoiding future trouble if you do this."
I found no section in the user guide regarding converting from 1.5 to 1.7.
The last thing I want to do is make my current install non-functional.
It does seem like a good idea to go to openssh, as it will also probably cure
my inverse color problem. But, until I know what steps have to be taken to
go from 1.5 to 1.7, I ain't touching it.
