Just a tip, i dont know Cygnus, but these questions come over, and over and
over and over and over and over again, check the archives, there is a LOT
about Cygnus, btw unix dont take \ as a directory/file delimiter, you have
to use /, that might be one, or you mught want to run sh and your command
like: sh configure, might work, well my tip to you is check out the
archives, search on Cygnus, and im sure you will get more docs than follows
the sofware itself.

  Unfortunately, trying to run ".\configure" just gives me "configure:
command
not found." I'm also using Win 98, but I tried your "configure | sh" and
"autorun | sh &" fixes and neither worked, I'm sad to say (with "configure:
command not found" and "autorun: command not found," followed by "[1] 1673
[1]+ Done autorun | sh," whatever that means).
  If you can by any chance remember what you did to get it to work, I'd be
much obliged. It beats spending $600 for a Microsoft C++ compiler . . .

Thanks again,
Jess Heinig
