Jeff, Just like on any Unix system, "uname -srv" will return the kernel (in Cygwin's case, cygwin1.dll) version. On Cygwin, you can also use "cygcheck -srv" to get detailed information about your system (essential for diagnosing Cygwin problems, see <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>), or "cygcheck -cd" to just get the versions of all installed packages (or omit the "-d" flag to also check them for integrity). If you post the output of either "cygcheck -srv" or "cygcheck -cd", please *attach* it to your message, rather than including it inline. Igor P.S. I was surprised that this isn't in the FAQ. David, could you please add this, under the heading "What version of Cygwin do I have?" or something? Oh, and BTW, there's a "What version is this, anyway?" entry that has nothing to do with this question, and is pretty confusing. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
