RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 12

["Smith, Martin" <martin at exchange dot Scotland dot NCR dot COM>]

Actually a few Windows programs seem to install a copy of cygwin1.dll :-

* PGP Freeware.
* Falch.net's IDE for PalmOS development.

None of these are in my path though so should cause no problems (and they
didn't with recent builds).

A check of my cygwin version shows it at 1.1.4 though so it looks like I
don't have the latest net release as I thought I did. I'm just off to
download that and I expect that'll cure my problems !

What do you mean by __Use their own version of Cygwin1.dll__?????
You should never have multiple Cygwin1.dll on the same system.
