(removed the file) WHAT??? I went back and checked my previous tests. THEY worked. ummm.

I don't think I did anything else that could have fixed the problem. I haven't messed with my path. I haven't really deleted anything but goo and foo all day. I'll let you know. -- 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/
