Re: Which DLL should be active?

["Elfyn McBratney" <emcb_exposure at hotmail dot com>]

When you run setup and install a new copy of the dll, and the dll is in use
it doesn't place the new dll in the dir (c:\cygwin\bin for ex.). Instead it
calls it dllname.dll.new, and replaces the files when you next reboot your
machine.
