Hi,

Please envision me looking very sheepish as I report this...

I just did my usual blind, periodic 
check-for-Cygwin-update-download-and-install routine. Imagine my 
peevishness when I found my Vim no longer works ("The dynamic link library 
cygncurses5.dll could not be found in the specified path ...").

Judging from the mailing list, I'm the only fool to jump in like this and 
mess up my Cygwin. Can someone outline a repair procedure for someone who 
didn't follow these instructions?

Thanks in advance.
