Hello Brian and all,
I removed my Cygwin files and started with a fresh installation from
scratch. Now wget is working. There was no need to mess with the registry.
I had no idea that installing too many Cygwin packages was courting
failure. Live and learn!
Many thanks for helping. Maybe sometime soon I will once again try to
get Xwindows to work.
Naturally Yours,
Charlie P.

I tried to use wget. Here's the result:
$ wget -r --tries=10 https://a.nice.website/newsletters/ -o log
C:/cygwin64/bin/ wget.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So, I re-ran setup-x86_64.exe, wondering if something had not been
properly installed before. I got the following:
Package: _/Unknown package
gtk3.sh exit code 127
I re-ran the setup more than once, always the same result.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
That appears to be the least of your problems.
You appear to have installed far too many Cygwin packages, possibly
all, or at least as many as worked, before failures prevented further
attempts?
As a result, your attachments exceed allowed sizes, so your email did
not make it onto the list, or into the list archives.
Many packages appear not to be installed properly, and a number appear
to be empty, as the contents have not been installed.
Such installations are unlikely to work because of components missing
due to installation failures, address space conflicts between
installed components, and Cygwin Setup failure to complete all
installation processes without errors.
Please try creating a new Cygwin base installation on your system,
with only default packages, and allow all Cygwin Setup postinstall
processes to complete properly, with no c:/...cygwin.../bin/ processes
running, and no errors showing in /var/log/setup.log.full.
Then rerun Cygwin Setup to add a reasonable number of packages, and
allow all Cygwin Setup postinstall processes to complete properly,
with no c:/...cygwin.../bin/ processes running, and no errors showing
in /var/log/setup.log.full.
When your `cygcheck -hrsv` shows no Incomplete packages or Missing
files, your installation is setup properly and should be working with
no problems.
Otherwise wipe and repeat until successfull.
