Ok, Cygwin as far as I remember gives you the opportunity to do a download only and to save the files in a given location. That is the best option. It doesn't install anything. I'm assuming you have downloaded everything under the sun as you have so many files to delete (simply go into the C drive and delete (shift delete) the cygwin directory - that's about the easiest way to delete it.) You should have only selected the "stuff you need" but that's half the problem. Unless the UQLX files mention the bits of Cygwin that you need - how do you know? Off the top of my head, you probably need the C and/or C++ development & runtime files plus the base system and all of X (or XORG these days?). You need the development stuff to compile UQLX and the X/XORG files to run it in a graphical environment. Sorry I'm unable to help any further - I'm 100% Linux! Cheers, Norm. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
