[Workaround: Create output of cygcheck and 'grep' it instead?] Already two calls, an extra minute (or two, read below), might tend to "enfuriate" an impatient user (e.g. me! ;-). NOTE: This would undoubtedly lead to questions like "cygwin install froze! Why?" on this list. [ cygcheck -c on W2K 450MHz PII -> about 1 minute] /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.
