Hi, A note to the maintainer of the User Guide: the "regtool" information on <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html> is out of date (so, for that matter, is the regtool manpage). For more info, see "regtool --help". I could provide a patch for the manpage if I only knew what to diff against. A patch for the User Guide is attached (do I need a ChangeLog?).
