There are two problems with xmgace 1- For some unknown reason the .exe file is not in X11R6/bin/ as for all other X programs, but in /usr/share/grace/bin. In the first directory there only links pointing to the actual file. The problem is that non-cygwin programs do not understand such links. 2- xmgrace is known to require to run the cygwin command "rebaseall". I hope that this can be usefull R.M. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
