Hello,

I recently installed Cygnus CDK 19.1 and downloaded some extra off of ftp
sites.
I installed vim 5.0, less, termcap, ncurses.  They all work great.  

Now the question is:  

I have a question regarding an "install" script I found, attached here for
your reference.  Where is cyg_install.exe ?

This is the .exe file reference by the replacement script, near the bottom
of the attached file.

I'd appreciate any pointer.

Best Regards,
Enoch Wu
