I have Insight installed from the Cygwin setup program. I'm not quite
sure I've got the latest; I get
$ insight --version

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-cygwin".
I've noticed there's a directory (in Cygwin's file naming scheme)
/usr/share/insight1.0/help/trace
which contains what look like obsolete versions of the help pages. For
example,
/usr/share/insight1.0/help/trace/watch.html
says
(Type "help set output-radix" in the
console window for help. To make this change permanent, it must be added
to the user's
init file -- .gdbinit under unix and gdb.ini under Windows.)
This information is out of date: I don't think gdb.ini has worked for
several years.
I see another version of watch.html in the parent directory: is this
just a case of an old file accidentally being distributed, or are there
really supposed to be two different versions of the same files around?
(This doesn't really cause me much of a problem, it's just that I was
helping someone get started, and they mentioned gdb.ini, which doesn't
actually work any more.)
