I have nothing against the enviroment variable idea. I was making (a little) joke. If you'd like to see this happen, I'd suggest offering it as a patch to 'setup.exe'. Since I'm not the gatekeeper for 'setup.exe' code, whether or not I'm convinced it's a good idea isn't necessarily going to help or hurt your cause. The patch is likely to be the path of least (though not necessarily 'no') resistence. > I forget, does Cygwin offer the option of installing for 1 user vs. > "all users"? I only remember it being installed for "all"...? Both are offered in 1.7. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
