It's a pity your search around for more info didn't take you to the mailing list archive really, because you would have saved yourself some bandwidth :P Sorry if this mail sounds a bit blunt, but there's been quite a lot of traffic on here of late regarding this.

Whilst doing a Full SystemScan, I got a message from Norton Antivirus The file D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll is infected with the Backdoor.EggHead virus. Unable to repair this file. Is this a false alarm ? Does anyone know anything about this ? Thanks Chris Earn all you can. But not at the expense of conscience, not at the expense of our neighbour's wealth, not at the expense of our neighbour's health.

RE: Edit file
This is rather off topic since it's not a cygwin problem, IMO, but I'll help you anyway because I'm nice like that :P What you probably want is: bash$ cat visualiser/PositionData.java | sed s!import visualiser.HostIDVPatcher;!//import visualiser.HostIDVPatcher;! out.txt I've used ! instead of / because it saves you having to escape the // and sed lets you use almost any delimiter that you want. I haven't actually tested this and so I can't vouch 100% that it'll work, however it should. If you carry on having problems then email me privately and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

RE: bash completion (was: RE: Units)
I have to admit that I thought it was quite confusing too. Perhaps if it said, This rule also applies to Cygwin itself because Cygwin is also a package? Just my 2p/c/whatever. Carl -Original Message- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 4:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: bash completion (was: RE: Units) snip I'm not sure how you got that impression. This includes the cygwin package itself would be applied to If your package is dependent on a file. So, if your package is not dependent on anything in the cygwin package there is not reason to include the cygwin package. If the intent was to say Always include the cygwin package then it would have been a lot clearer to say that. I'd clarify this if I understood why this is confusing. cgf === Information in this email and any attachments are confidential, and may not be copied or used by anyone other than the addressee, nor disclosed to any third party without our permission.

That's what the webpage implies. If that's not what it means, then surely you have to agree that the page is confusing.

Bounced announcement
Hi, I tried to send a mail to cygwin-announce this morning to announce FIGlet. However it just got rejected by the cygwin-announce moderator with no reason. Who's the moderator who rejected it and could he/she explain why so I can see about correcting any errors please?
