To quote from http://cygwin.com/setup.html : A line that begins with a "@" behaves similarly to the setup.ini field (see below). It overrides the package name for the enclosing directory. This is an optional entry. It is intended only for historical packages where the package name is different from the name of the directory in which the package resides. This should not be necessary for "modern" setup.hint filesa. I don't know what's causing the epidemic of package maintainers thinking they need '@' but it seems like this is almost a FAQ. Of course since there is already documentation indicating that this field is not necessary, I don't think that a FAQ would do much good. cgf
