Re: startxwin.bat problem

Hmm sounds like win9x-platform?

To fix the Out of environment space on win9x, add a line something
like (increase the 2048 if it still fails) to config.sys

shell=c:\windows\command\command.com /e:2048

On WinNT+ check

The missing cygwin1.dll message is probably due to that it can't set
the path, fixed above. 

Check so that startxwin.bat uses the correct paths, like
c:\cygwin\usr\bin instead if \usr\bin..

Regarding the 'invalid switch'-messages, remove the /b switch of the
start command.
