I was trying to use the same fsplit executable that I use under Redhat Linux, but with Cygwin, it gives this error:
./fsplit: 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected

./fsplit

error when I try using the fsplit executable to split a file. Your help
would be appreciated.

Tyson,
You haven't really given much information to go on here, but I can make a
few guesses:
1) Cygwin is not binary-compatible with Linux, so I'm assuming fsplit is
not a binary, but rather a shell script.
2) On Linux, /bin/sh is usually bash. Not so on Cygwin (/bin/sh is ash).
The script could be bash-specific. Try changing the first line of fsplit
from '#!/bin/sh' to '#!/bin/bash' and see if it helps.
