Re: Is Cygwin really required?

So, sed 4.0.7 for Win32 has just seen the light of day, with a few bug fixes. Cygwin currently uses 4.0.5. Can I just drop in the new Win32 version in my /bin directory, or do I have to wait for an ad hoc Cygwin port? Apparently, these programs we use are linked to Cygwin1.dll somehow...

Countless thanks,



Which programs use cygwin1.dll?  The Win32 sed 4.0.7 or all the
tools provided by the Cygwin distribution?

I wouldn't recommend replacing your Cygwin version of sed with
some generic Win32 version.  Keep'em separate because they're
not the same beast (unless the Win32 verison is linked to
cygwin1.dll too)
