Harold,
Maybe I am just being stupid, but I can't seem to find the clipboard
program, because....
a) Using the Cygwin setup wizard to attempt to update my installation, I
checked a couple mirrors and they don't seem to have xwinclip -- they
only seem to have XFree86-xwinclip.
It's on mirrors.rcn.net. Just confirmed and downloaded it.
b) I went to the XFree86 web site and then the xwinclip site
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/xwinclip/
Obviously that page is long out of date so I don't know if I can trust
anything it says about installation. At this point I don' know how to
get the program to install it.
That development page is out of date because the distribution method
changed to finally use setup.exe. I will update it at some point, but
it isn't very important at this time.
c) Using your
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2003-10/msg00028.html
information, I am supposed to use the Cygwin installation wizard, but as
I said in "a" above, I am not finding the program.
What am I missing?
Dunno. You are choosing "Install from Internet", right? The package is
there... in the XFree86 category. Make sure you are looking below the
XFree86-* packages.
