Hi Mark,

thank you.

I found out, that line.exe is in the package util-linux-2.17.2-1.
(http://cygwin.com/packages/util-linux/util-linux-2.17.2-1)

But I automatically got the newer version util-linux-2.21-1 from the mirror, where line.exe is _not_ included:
http://cygwin.com/packages/util-linux/util-linux-2.21-1

Ok, I will downgrade to util-linux-2.17.2-1 to get line.exe.
May I ask you to have a look at this to save line.exe for future releases?

Thank you & regards,
  Paul
