Hi, Giie, I'd recommend installing Cygwin 1.3.5 or later. This will enable you to "petend" it's Unix. That's how I run Cygwin. I.e., I built Cygwin 1.3.7 under Cygwin 1.3.5, then installed it under "e:\usr\cygwin" as seen from Windows98SE. However, when I fire up a bash shell, everything looks and acts like Unix! So, I built and installed Alliance 4.5.0 from Cygwin. Caveat: Some steps are VERY slow under Cygwin, apparently due to extremely inefficient multithreading support. So, I NEVER think about 'C:' or 'D:' drives from Cygwin, just "/" and "~", etc, just like Unix. The next I would do is read a book on the bourne shell. Most of your problems seem to stem from confusing C-shell with bourne shell syntax. Shell syntax knowledge is fundamental to understanding that you CANNOT ISSUE C-Shell commands under the Bourne shell family and expect them to work -- invariantly.
