Changes: - All executables now have a .exe extension, for proper Win9x operation. - Packages now created with GNU tar in case of compatibility problems with setup.exe. NOTES: If you have had problems with installation of previous versions failing spectacularly, you might try this repackaged version. If you use the non-X version of emacs in a cygwin console window, you probably will want to use the -bg COLOR and/or -fg COLOR options to set the foreground and background colors, since emacs seems to set them both to black by default, and it is a little hard to read. COLOR can be black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white. You will have best results if you put "tty" in your CYGWIN variable setting. Joe Buehler *** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN *** To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
