I cannot seem to locate it through the setup program. BTW, I'm using ver 2.247 of setup.exe with ftp://mirrors.kernel.org as mirror with 'Exp'/'Current' mode. Thanks, Haro From: Dave Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 11:44:51 -0700 (PDT) ::This is a test version - feedback is required on whether this works on non-W2K ::boxes. :: ::Changes ::------- ::By default, the login shell is now invoked by a shell script. This allows the ::tcsh/ash issues to be solved and also happens to resolve issues with network ::paths. However, it requires the co-operation of your login script to avoid your ::home directory when the environment variable CHERE_INVOKING is set. The attached ::diffs against the existing default scripts should allow you to check if things ::work. :: ::If the new invocation method doesn't work for you, you hould be able to get the ::previous behaviour with the -1 option. :: ::Attempts to use run.exe if it is on the path. :: ::General ::------- :: ::chere is a Cygwin package to manage the infamous Shell Here functionality. ::This adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named ::shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen. :: ::If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it ::would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been ::added to the context menus, and the associated keys. :: ::chere can remove any context menu items it has created. :: ::Please consult the inbuilt help for details on usage (chere -h). :: ::Known issues ::------------ :: ::New invocation only tested on W2K. It relies on windows to set the working ::directory before starting the shell. I'm not sure if other versions of windows ::will do this. :: ::You must have Admin priveleges to install the context menus. :: ::The windows control panel uninstall will not work if you uninstall chere. If ::you are about to remove cygwin, uninstall the context menus first. :: :: ::Enjoy, :: ::-- ::Dave :: ::Please report any bugs to the Cygwin mailing list, following the procedure in ::http://cygwin.com/problems.html. In addition you should attach the (verbatim) ::output of `chere -r`. :: ::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. :: ::*** 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. ::Send email to the address specified there.
