Hi Gregg and CygWin folks,

      I found the PGP/GPG key, and confirmed the validity of the setup.exe.

      As for the blocking, my college hires Cymphonix to do this for them, =
and then the college Information Svces. guys stay com- pletely away from an=
y issues that arise.
Frustrated or confused?  I'm not entirely convinced that their security-bes=
otted brains contain enough neurons for that kind of processing.  They woul=
d say that they neither block nor un-block anything.  It is up to Cymphonix.

The IS guys gave me the address for the Cymphonix group, and I had to e-mai=
l those people for a couple of days before they decided to un-block the htt=
p://cygwin.com/setup.exe link.

Cymphonix apparently does not wish to deal with actual customers.  They nev=
er replied to my e-mails; just un-blocked the link.

I am now better informed about what awaits me on the wild, wild frontier of=
 the internet.
The issue (and these threads) is well and thoroughly closed.

George                    gbarrick AT walsh DOT edu
