Ken Holman" Subject: Setup 2.249.2.5, Package 'grep' 2.5-1, missing 'egrep.exe' and 'fgrep.exe' Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hi folks, I used to use one of the Cygwin B packages where the egrep.exe utility was included. I'm on an XP system and I downloaded replacement packages yesterday and ensured that I included the "grep" package. I went to use "egrep.exe" and found it wasn't installed. I did find an egrep.1 but it just points to grep. I reviewed my installation and found "Keep" for grep package 2.5-1 (indicating to me the package has been installed), and see egrep listed in the package description. I also see fgrep listed, though I'm not interested in using it. Neither egrep.exe nor fgrep.exe exist in my bin/ directory, as I would have expected. Did this fall through the cracks? In the short term I can copy grep.exe to egrep.exe because my existing batch files rely on it by name, so I just thought I'd report this in case either: (1) the files get added or (2) the package description removes references to the files not included. I hope this helps. ...................

I would have thought that would be a FAQ: "which bugs (by example) go to which mail lists?" -- Upcoming hands-on in-depth Europe: February 17-21, 2003 XSLT/XPath and/or XSL-FO North America: June 16-20, 2003 G.
