This is very strange, I am sure that I did not put this pathname into
the program. I have only tested the htdig programs on a Win95 machine
that had the cygnus tools installed so I would not have noticed the
problem.
The sort program in the htdig/bin directory is the one that you want.
I even set the path in the dig-full.bat file so that it would use this
one.
There are two solutions
1) Edit the executable file htmerge.exe and replace
/CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/BIN/sort^@
with
/wwwoffle/htdig/bin/sort^@1/BIN/sort
where ^@ is the single ASCII character that has the value 0.
You will need to be very careful that you do not change the length of
the string. If you don't want to risk this then try the next option.
2) Create a directory called /CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/BIN/ and copy
the sort.exe program into it (and the cygwin1.dll perhaps?).
