Hello,
   I upgraded cygwin to 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30 i686.
If I type 'man man' I get

Error executing formatting or display command.

No manual entry for man

Something in your installation failed, and you no longer have
a working /bin/sh (did it ask you to reboot, because in-use files
were replaced?)  At any rate, the solution is to rerun setup.exe,
and select bash for reinstallation, or to manually run
/etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done.

Not Found: sh

- Executing  /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done worked wonders.
- "in-use files": Cygwin was closed when I reinstalled and it never asked for a reboot. - "the solution is to rerun setup.exe".Oddly, when I did that (or do it now) I only get Misc
   under the main header All, the rest has disappeared.

   Thanks a lot for the prompt help,
       Rolf
