I downloaded all.tar.gz from the cygwin site, and, after installing it, as well as the man-page installation from ... (I can't remember the site, sorry. I found it at cygwin). whenever I type a command like: less foo.txt I get the following message: -" must be followed by 1 or 2 chars Makefile (press RETURN) and then I press return and everything is fine. It's just that that damn message is very annoying. Does anyone have a way to get it to go away?
