RE: A standard bug-reporting program for cygwin

[Heribert Dahms <heribert_dahms at icon-gmbh dot de>]

Hi David,

and what about the human reason, that those not finding
or even searching about cygcheck in FAQ/README
probably won't find this bugreport program, too?
In the worst case the traffic on the list isn't cut down,
but merely pointing to this new program instead of cygcheck!


Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)
