Well, mine's not very good either, obviously. That should have been spelled dilemma and means, quoting Webster, a choice between unfavorable alternatives. Or in other words, you have to make a choice between: 1) Modifying the PATH variable for every package that has it's own bin/ directory. 2) Creating standard UNIX directories and moving everything there. 3) Using the mount command and create logical directories to physical directories and taking the chance of the non-cygwin programs complaining. For this option you would still need to modify the DOS PATH variable for every package. Also this limits the /usr/local/bin to just one package. All of these have equally unfavorable negatives, but, you have to choose between one of them. == - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- --earnie_boyd@yahoo.com-- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
