The instructions are out of date.

I would really appreciate that. Thank you.

I agree. I'm still using Cygwin 19 because it does everything I need and
I've been afraid to unsettle my configuration (Cygwin upgrades used to be
very traumatic for me.) However, I've been meaning to upgrade to the latest

wonderful.
