is to remove all of the older DLLs.
If you have a distribution which distributes cygwin and that distribution
screws up an existing cygwin installation, then complain to the people
who provided the distribution. Their
I now have a procedure that works on my system for allowing more than
one cygwin to exist on the same Windows instance at the same time (but
not to execute at the same time). I thank several on this list and who
replied privately for help. For my needs, this solves the problem that

I installed Cygwin #1 on C: and Cygwin #2 on H:. I'll have to try the
