I just installed Cygwin. What kind of executable is zcat.exe? It doesn't
show up when I "dir c:\cygwin\bin\zc*" (only zcmp), but I see it's 19
bytes in Explorer. It works fine within bash, but I want UNIX utilities I
can use in the regular Windows Command Prompt.

$ ls -l zcat.exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 rcampbel Users 19 Jan 6 17:06 zcat.exe -> gzip.exe

As you can see from the ls output, it's a symbolic link (doesn't work in cmd). You can still call gunzip -c (or whatever).
