Unless someone happens to have a machine called "dolphin" configured that way they are going to need to alter fs_parse.awk either with the correct machine name/IP address or to replace "-query dolphin" with "-broadcast". I got 'unable to resolve host: dolphin' and got stuck (I'm fairly new at all this). Please, a quick explanation of what I need to do? Which file do I find '-query dolphin' in? I will then change it to '-broadcast'. My mistake. Correct version of fs_parse.awk is attached. Save into C:\Cygwin and all should be well. A new version is currently being uploaded, but changing the fs_parse.awk file is all that is required. I will e-mail again when the new version has finished uploading.
New version is now uploaded and has the md5sum: $ md5sum CygXF86.zip a65370c911260281618ca3c139e11c73 CygXF86.zip If you already downloaded the old version (with an md5sum of 43372284b60e9e386f91bad60f5f6a12), then just save the attached file as C:\Cygwin\fs_parse.awk and you will have an up-to-date version. If you have a version that has any other md5sum, then you managed to download while I was halfway through uploading - sorry. Use rsync to finish the download for maximum efficiency.
Thanks to everyone who reported this - Alan Davies got the credit in the ChangeLog since he got there first! :-)
An explanation of the bug (from the reply I sent to Alan): "My mistake. Dolphin is the name of my main workstation. The script should use "-broadcast" instead of "-query dolphin", but I changed it at one point because I have several servers that accept broadcast queries and I wanted to force it to connect to Dolphin while I was using Cygwin to do some actual work on a Win98 laptop. Looking at the CVS logs, I see that I missed this change because it was included along with the addition of "-nowinkill -unixkill -emulate3buttons" in fs_parse.awk. Oh well." Sorry, I don't normally release software that does absolutely nothing! On the plus side, this demonstrates nicely how open-source works; three people find the bug and two people fix it before it gets caught by internal QA! :-) (Internally, of course, dolphin exists and so you don't see the problem...) On a side note, I'd be interested to know how many people download this and find it useful. Michael
