!!! Ah come on . . .

Six months ago I took a 60 minute run at it that installation didn't work 
when completed.

Now I've spent an hour and a half on it and I'm getting close, but still no 
joy.

Five minutes . . . maybe IF you know exactly which tools you need, IF you 
know what CYGWIN is and have installed it 10 times before, IF you know that 
the CYGWIN installer is also use to install the PRC-TOOLS too and 
understand why and how.

IF you've seen it all before, installed it all before and know EXACTLY what 
you need . . . I still think you'd be hard pressed to do it in five 
minutes, but heck "maybe".

However, for a new user who hasn't seen all that before . . . pardon my 
french, but five minutes is a load of crap.

The "Out of the Box" experience for PRC-TOOLS sucks.  The good news is 
there is no box and it is free.

Don't get me wrong . . . I very much respect and like GCC . . . I've used 
their tools longer than half of the folks on this list have been alive.  It 
is a great product supported by great people.  But "five minutes", GIVE ME 
A BREAK.
