Since I used this entry to detect the old B20.1 from the new Cygnus V1.1 I have now a lot of broken scripts and makefiles that have to run on both versions. This drives me really crazy! So is there any *reliable* method to detect the version of Cygwin from a script ? Greetings, Jörg -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
