I have installed cygwin on Windows XP using the default setup. When I
try to use tar, I am getting "bash: tar: command not found." If I try
to reinstall tar using the setup utility, it copies some files, but then
gives a "no package" note, and tar still won't work in cygwin. Any
ideas how to fix

I would've used CYGWIN, but, unfortunately, tar didn't work ;)

OK, let's start over. I used the uninstall procedures on the website to
completely uninstall the software. I removed all previously downloaded
files, including setup.exe. I downloaded and ran setup.exe, chose a
different mirror (ftp.cise.ufl.edu), and downloaded and installed fresh.
