Try again with updating 1.7-56. When it is downloaded from mirror: mirror.nyi.net, my 1.7 instance of cygwin will nolonger come up!! Using my 1.5 instance, and the strings command, I check the 1.7.0-56 version of cygwin1.dll and it comes up with: /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.0-51, NOT 56. No comments about using "strings". If no windows are opening up, I can't do a "uname -r" on a dead system. Unless someone comes up with a *good* reason NOT to use it, it stays in. I've been using cygwin since the B20 days so I think I know a little about it. I seemed to remember the days when "uname -r" never gave the complete version and sub-version. I frequently perform updates of the 1.7 release, This allow me just click-away and it is done. I don't always fire it up as I'm frequently running my 1.5 system. Yesterday was a bad day for this activity. Frédéric Bron wrote: >> It's worse than that. >> >> In an xterm, the first "ls" works (I get output) but then nothing >> works after that.
