Even worse, it puts cygwin1.dll in C:\WINDOWS! I then did a search of my hard drive for other copies and was surprised to find a few more. They are apparently installed to get support for the shorten command-line tool (http://shnutils.freeshell.org/shorten/). The packages that included a cygwin1.dll were: * Trader's Little Helper: http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/ * The shorten command-line tool: http://shnutils.freeshell.org/shorten/ * The Nero SHN plug-in: http://neroplugins.cd-rw.org/ * The dBpowerAMP SHN codec: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-shorten.htm -- David Rothenberger spammer? -> spam@daveroth.dyndns.org GPG/PGP: 0x7F67E734, C233 365A 25EF 2C5F C8E1 43DF B44F BA26 7F67 E734 -- 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/
