I took the libiberty of speeding up Ron's setup program by avoiding the use of CMD.EXE with every program invocation. That seems to make things work much better. It also makes it much easier to redirect stdin/stdout, etc. I've also added some additional expository messages which I think will help the user understand what is going on. And, I've increased the retries when attempting download stuff. I was routinely unable to download some files until I did this. In the process of doing this, I broke some functions out into their own files so that they were easier to work on (for me). If, when Ron returns, he wants to merge everything back, that's obviously ok with me. I've added a '-f' option to 'cygpath' which I intend to eventually use in a pipe in setup.exe so that it can get a list of files more quickly than it does now. I don't think I'll get around to doing that prior to the net release, though. I think that we're very close now. I'd appreciate it if someone would check out the installer and try to build it though, just to verify that everything works as advertised. cgf
