You're welcome. But you shouldn't need to recompile sitecopy to use a newer cygwin1.dll. Just delete the old cygwin1.dll and replace it with the new. sitecopy.exe will see the new one (worked fine for me when I tried it with cygwin 1.5.5 installed). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
