Do you mean a Solaris binary? If so it won't work. Binaries compiled for *nix will not run in Cygwin; you have to get the source code and compile it on Cygwin for it to work. Since you said that you don't have the source, than you might be out of luck. Of course, scripts and such will run in any environment with the proper interpreter installed, and Cygwin comes with quite a few.
I don't know what program you're trying to run, but you can probably find an open source project that does the same thing, and try to build it yourself. If you manage that, then maybe you'll consider contributing it. :-)

For those not following cygwin-apps, I have an ITP there now, and a few other programs available to test. Add the server http://mysite.verizon.net/yselkowitz/cygwin to setup.exe, and let me know what you think. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
