It's about http://bugs.darcs.net/issue784
In windows, type darcs --help and you might get "removeFile: permission
denied" error.
The reason is you don't have less.exe anywhere. Darcs puts the help text
thru less.
Workaround until fix:
- install cygwin.
- If 500 MB download to show a text file is too much for you, look for
"more.com" in your winnt directory, and duplicate it as less.exe
anywhere in path.
In another note: I'm using darcs 1.0.9 on windows. Are there windows
users using darcs 2.0.0 + 19 patches from
http://zooko.com/darcs/darcsdir-w32-2.0.0.zip? Good time to upgrade?
