Missing cygwin1.dll efter installing full.exe

[Andrew Markebo]

Full.exe is a old version of cygwin, something like b20, containing a cygwin.dll.

If you need a modern version, and that is a good idea.. setup.exe,
downloadable from www.cygwin.com installs a newer version, that
contains cygwin1.dll

| Can I continue to work without cygwin1.dll or it is a must.

If you don't need new stuff.. 

| I compile:
| 
| % g++ helloworld.cpp -o hello
| 
| what I get is hello.exe ( why an *.exe extention when I am working in a
| unix like environment?)

Because you are not on a unix-system.. you are on a windows-system. If
you run gcc on a VAX(?) you also will get a .exe on the end..
