Error: procedure entry point in cygwin1.dll

[Martin Schmid]

Hello Rasjid

Thanks for your tip which was not daft at all, since cygwin was actually
running, I just couldn't start xfree from the cygwin shell.
In fact, the cygwin find utility did find another copy of cygwin1.dll in the
c:\windows folder, and deleting this file did solve the problem. Before
deleting it, I repeated trying to find this file with the Windows XP Explorer.
The first try was searching in C:, which failed to find c:\windows\cygwin1.dll
but found C:\cygwin\cygwin1.dll (sic!), then I tried searching in C:\windows
(without changing anything else), and this time c:\windows\cygwin1.dll was
found.
The Windows XP explorer really seems to have a problem finding files :-(

Cheers, Martin
