Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.6-1


I followed the installation instructions here, but the
cygwin1.dll file does not update.  Just the packages
are updated.  The date on cygwin1.dll is 2003-09-20,
obviously not the newest.

Is there something else I need to do to make sure the
dll gets updated?

Thanks.
Barry Drake
