Thanks, Corinna. I'll give it a whirl. The workplace is pretty fastidious about the procedure by which off-site stuff is brought onto the on-site network. Is "exchanging the DLL" merely overwriting the DLL file with the new one? The import procedure is somewhat less arduous than if I have to create a package directory (which I am less familiar with for updating rather than installing). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
