Go to http://cygwin.com/ and follow the links to the legacy version of Cygwin. The web site mentions "Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me" but the link really just brings you to a version of setup (setup-legacy) which will update/install 1.5.x versions of the packages. These packages are, of course, no longer updated and offered as-is. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
