I don't know if it is that simple. The files should still conform to the conventions at the oft mentioned: http://cygwin.com/setup.html . I haven't verified that is the case for the standard .tgz files, though. I know that Harold is working on this, but I just thought I'd answer this question. Regardless, thank you! for taking the initiative. That was a quick response. cgf
