Thanks to Reini, Harold and George for their help.
Using IE instead of Netscape solved the problem with bunzip2.
tar xf ... worked well, with one exception:
tar xf xfree...devel.tar reported error "Cannot open: No such file or directory"
when it tried to install usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver and ../xsm (are these files or
links ?).
Is this serious ?
Anyway, startwin.bat does not work.
It opens briefly two MSDOS windows in the
second of which I have hardly enough time to read:
Couldn´t open RGB_DB ´/usr/.../rbg´
... Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root.
What shall I do ?
Presently, my cygwin prompt assumes I am "administrator",
and so is the name of the owner of all files.
chown root /tmp/.X11-unix does not work ("invalid user")
