Thanks! i deleted all registry entrys and the cygwin dir. i suspect that how cygwin handles all the locations of things (such as where the binaries live) and how all that runs i also found that bash and such have an issue with mulit-word usernames windows allows these but Pine and Mutt fail because they are made for /home/username/mail/ but i used /home/user name/mail (username was Sys Admin) bash would show "[Sys [EMAIL PROTECTED]" but GNUStep would try to write to /home/sys/GNUStep/ not /home/Sys Admin/GNUStep/ should we fix this in a future version? make the username all one word (or use "_" in place - this makes it simpler)?

You're best bet? <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> A WAG is that you should re-run "setup.exe" and choose "Reinstall" for all. If you choose to try my WAG before consulting <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, please consult it if my WAG doesn't work out for you. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
