This is msys_mingw release #6, it bundles
Mingw 2.0.0-3 and Msys 1.0.8. This package
provides a minimal tools needed to build
Win32 applications that depend on a
configure + make build system.

Mingw files are already extracted under the
/mingw directory and appear on the PATH by
default.

RUNNING THE SHELL:
Users should double click on the msys shortcut
(not on msys.bat) to start up the shell. Users
should not need to modify their PATH before
running the shell.

COPYING THE SHORTCUT:
If you decide to copy the msys shortcut to
the desktop, you will have to update the
paths in the shortcut. Both the Cmd line
and Working paths under the Program tab
must be fully qualified.

Console Programs:
Some "DOS console" programs will not output
text properly when run from the GUI shell.
The msys.bat file can be modified to run
sh directly in a DOS console instead of
using rxvt if so desired.

Changes:
- Added msys shortcut with enough initial
memory to work under Win95/98.
- Removed uninstall directories.
- Added README.TXT.
