The song, in turn, was named for the less popular collapsed star. My suggestion is, how about giving the cygwin dll releases nicknames for either rush songs ("Tom Sawyer", "Hold Your Fire") or stars ("Polaris", "Sirius"). I'm not sure anyone is having trouble with keeping 1.3.1 and 1.3.3 apart, but if so this might help. And, it would give something for people to put in /etc/issue if they wanted. :) __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
