I agree with Jonathan. Even a test package should work with the existing DLL. If you wish to distribute privately for those who want bleeding edge then that would be ok. A package that is dependent on something outside of what setup can deliver should always be rejected for distribution by those controlling package distribution. Perhaps a rule to see the Cygwin Announcement as well as the setup.hint should also be enforced. Earnie. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
