Thanks for responding. But I must I'm still puzzled. If I delete Cygwin
B20 and its directory structure, what in the downloading of the various
utilities builds a new structure and imposes a new installation? Another
way of putting this question: What does the work formerly done by
"full.exe" or "usertools.exe"?
