I'd put the lc() in to deal with Windows' case insensitive filesystem and didn't catch it when I removed the workaround from other parts of the program. Version 1.03 will properly find archive files even when the parent directory names change. This is particularly relevant now with the migration from contrib/ and latest/ to release/ . > I'm really gently suggesting that we shouldn't need to have a script to merge > the mirror directories, because (as I understand it) they serve no purpose. The separate mirror directories are intended to support future functionality. For now the only part that is really useful is that they provide a place for a separate setup.ini for each download site. If someone is trying to manage a cache on a network drive for installing Cygwin in multiple machines, the merging may still help. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
