Perhaps, but as long as the Cygwin DLL etc do support 95, it seems that Setup should be self contained and not require W95 users (all dozen of them ;-)) to hunt down DLLs all over the internet. Perhaps I'll whip up a regular Setup installer which includes the necessary redistributables. Mr. Thibault, do you have any interest in helping test out whatever I come up with? I haven't had access to a Win95 machine since... well, pretty much forever in PC-years, so the only testing I could do myself would be that it doesn't wreck anything with XP Pro and Home, and maybe ME if I can ressurect that machine. -- Gary R.
