The problem you mention is common to pretty much every Cygwin package that's built from source; a file named INSTALL, like README, is standard in many source tarballs. While your solution works perfectly, it's not the "right" solution. I get around the problem to same way you do BTW. > It also has a small bug in it. /doc/INSTALL.unx should be > /doc/INSTALL.unix. Been like that forever - again, other packages besides slrn use this same naming convention > What has to be done to get slrn part of the standard cygwin releases? Simple - someone has to step up and volunteer to be the official maintainer. IIRC correctly, that also means being the slrn support person on the Cygwin mailing list.
