I don't like working on setup. I suspect I'm not alone. So I don't pay much attention to suggestions that major new functionality should be added to it. My suggestion to Dave Korn was for someone who had already communicated that he was working on it. I made it because I'd rather not see new functionality added to spinners. So, anyway, if you really want to make a nice contribution to the project and you can't see your way to actually jumping into the DLL itself, then consider working on setup.exe. As usual for any free software project, we are not lacking for ideas. Ideas are worthless without people to implement them. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
