Hi John,

Changing the 'Start in:' directory of the config tool shortcut to "C:\cygwin\bin"
allows the tool to run.  It all looks to work fine so long as the eCos repository
is on the same machine.

If however I set the repository to one on another (Win2K) machine, the configuration
tool opens and for each entry in the ecos.db file, I see an error like this:

    ecos.db, package PACKAGE_NAME: warning
    This package does not have any valid version subdirectories.

When this is over the tool then closes itself, without giving the opportunity to
change the repository.

Chris
