Thx a lot Ken - that did it. INFO command now works properly !

And now that begs a follow-up question...

After some digging around about how the post-install scripts work in
CygWin, and doing some complementary testing, it seems that, every
time that CygWin Setup runs, the script will be run once and then
renamed with a '.done' suffix. So that, if I want the script to run
every time that Setup runs, I have to remember to manually rename it
back to '.sh' after each setup run, which is, erm, sub-optimal.

Any ideas about getting around this repeated manual renaming ???

Thx and cheers

Thiers
