O.K. That makes sense. I'll install Cygwin and just to make sure I've got
everything at the correct version, I'll do the configure and make.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!

Even if your binary was built with Cygwin (and you have cygwin1.dll on your

cygwin installed to perform the mounts. When installed, the cygwin binary
adds its mount point(s) to the
registry.
