Thorsten Kampe,

You are one smart 'ass', or is this your personalty hidden behind a 
keyboard. If this is the only way you have to communicate assistance, you 
should stick to your day job!!

I searched for 'cygpcre-0.dll' at  http://cygwin.com/packages and all I 
found is where it should reside in the tree structure. I didn't see any 
means to download this file.

Besides, when I installed Cygwin why wouldn't this file be installed 
automatically?
