There is a new snapshot up there: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ You'll need to grab libcygwin.a from cygwin-inst-20041209.tar.bz2 . You don't need to also install cygwin1.dll unless you want to. There are some potentially destabilizing changes in this DLL so anyone who downloads this make sure that you have a backup strategy. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
