Hi Ted.
I took a pot shot at what you might hacve done and it must be something
like removing C:\WINDOWS from your PATH environment variable.
I suppose that that instead of adding to your path you have replaced it,
i.e.
the readme file says
>> Add C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin' to your
$PATH <<
I belive that you, probably as you say because you are starting from
scratch and know nothing, have typed:
PATH C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin
or
SET PATH=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin
both resetting the path to the new value, to add is typed as
PATH C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin;%PATH%
or
SET PATH=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin;%PATH%
In the sincerely hope that this helps you
Regards
Henrik Geleff
