Tsk, tsk. I didn't notice that you invented a new category. I don't see any reason why this should just be in Libs. It's a mingw library but, since we don't make the Mingw distinction for anything else, I don't know why zlib should be different. The description should be adequate, IMO. Note that cygcheck will still compile and link without this libarary. You'll get a warning and the resultant program won't be able to access the package files. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
