Another reason to rename from setup to something else is if your PC "protection" won't let you run something named setup, but will run other names. A friend has this issue, and uses a script to download and rename new setups, when "non-setup" says a newer one is available, based on timestamp and version in setup.ini (?). So, I'd like it to have a different, constant name too, but no biggie as is. -- 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
