@section Using Cygwin
@subsection My application cannot locate cygncurses5.dll!!!
If you upgraded recently, and suddenly vim (or some other Cygwin
application) fails with this message, it means that you did not follow
these instructions properly:
@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00124.html}. To
repair the damage, you must run setup.exe again, and re-install the
@samp{libncurses5} package.
Note that setup won't show this option by default. In the ``Select
packages to install'' dialogue, click on the @samp{Full/Part}
button. This lists all packages, even those that are already
installed. Scroll down to locate the @samp{libncurses5} package.
Click on the ``cycle'' glyph until it says ``Reinstall''. Continue
with setup.
@subsection Why is Cygwin suddenly @emph{so} slow?
If you recently upgraded the @samp{cygwin} package and suddenly
@emph{every} command takes a @emph{very} long time, then you probably
have the obsolete @code{//c} notation in your PATH. This now means
the @emph{network share} @code{c}, which will slow things down
tremendously if it does not exist. See then next FAQ entry.
@subsection Why doesn't //c (for C:) work anymore?
(Similarly for any drive letter, e.g. @code{//z} for @code{Z:})
This ``feature'' has long been deprecated, and no longer works at all
in the latest release. For a detailed discussion of why this change
was made, and how deal with it now, refer to
in the latest release. As of release 1.3.3, @code{//c} now means the
@emph{network share} @code{c}.
For a detailed discussion of why this change was made, and how deal
with it now, refer to
@file{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg00014.html}.
@subsection How should I set my PATH?
