[darcs-users] New Windows binary for darcs 2.2.0rc1 available

[zooko]

Okay, so after my previous experiment, reported in my previous  
letter, I then attempted to factor cygwin out of the equation:

I unzipped the zip file using the Windows unzip tool instead of the  
cygwin unzip tool, checked whether the md5 hashes of the files were  
the same (they were).  Then I used cmd.exe to run darcs.exe.

I learned a very strange thing: one folder has a darcs.exe which  
errors-out in this way, and another folder has a darcs.exe that works  
*even though the folders are completely identical*.

This holds true even if I move each one into place on my PATH.

So apparently there is some state in this folder which is invisible  
to md5sum but which causes this failure.

So, I'm completely baffled, and I intend to investigate more, but for  
now, Salvatore's darcs executable can be made to work for me.

Regards,

Zooko
