The "real" /cygwin/usr/{bin,lib} are empty. All cygwin archives are in "usr/..." hierarchy. It means that if I try to simply unpack them under Windows using WinZIP or whatever, I drop them into .../usr/{bin,lib}, but they both are hidden when cygwin is started. It is not always possible to unpack them under Cygwin (I cannot overwrite currently used files; that applies to cygwin1.dll in the first place). Suggestion - change default mount points to /bin->/usr/bin and /lib->/usr/lib. That will allow to unpack archives both under Cygwin and Windows. -andrej Have a nice DOS!
