Pete and Noah

As far as I can recall I made no changes to the directory structure or files
except 1) put cygwin1.dll in \windows\system as Suhaib suggested  2) put the
samples and an "etc" in subdirectories under usr\local\bin\dx [as I recall
the samples came from the DX bonus pack] 3) put the X11r6.4 files in a
directory under . . .\local

[Noah, since you're up and running further than I, do your directories and
bin contents look like mine?]

Here is my \usr  directory structure

C:\usr\local
C:\usr\X11R6.4

My \usr\local  directory

C:\usr\local\dx
C:\usr\local\share


Here is my usr\local\dx  directory

C:\usr\local\dx\bin
C:\usr\local\dx\bin_cygwin
C:\usr\local\dx\doc
C:\usr\local\dx\etc
C:\usr\local\dx\fonts
C:\usr\local\dx\help
C:\usr\local\dx\html
C:\usr\local\dx\include
C:\usr\local\dx\java
C:\usr\local\dx\lib
C:\usr\local\dx\lib_cygwin
C:\usr\local\dx\samples
C:\usr\local\dx\ui
C:\usr\local\dx\User's Guide

Here are the contents of my . . . \dx\bin  subdirectory

dx.workerscript
README-Win32.txt
rgb.txt
STARTUPUI.EXE.stackdump
dx.src
loadables.mdf
usCaps2Ctrl.kbf
dx.ico

bash.exe

ps.exe
rsh.exe

cygwin1.dll

libz.dll
MagickZIP.dll
netcdf.dll
dx_logo.bmp
mdf2c.bat
OpenDx.bat
dxworker

XErrorDB
XKeysymDB

Here again is my current OpenDx.bat file with the last line changed as Peter
suggested.

REM @ECHO OFF

\local\dx\etc\ %path%
SET DXROOT=\usr\local\dx
SET DXDATA=\usr\local\DX\SAMPLES\DATA
SET XKeysymDB=C:\usr\local\DX\bin\XKeysymDB
SET XErrorDB=C:\usr\local\dx\bin\XErrorDB
REM SET DXMACROS=C:\usr\local\dx\java\server\dxmacros
REM BY RS SET DXexec=C:\usr\local\dx\bin\BIN_CYGWIN\DXEXEC
REM BY RS SET DXUI=C:\usr\local\dx\bin\BIN_CYGWIN\DXUI
REM SET LC_ALL=C:\usr\share\locae
REM SET LC_CTYPE=en_us
REM SET LANG=C
REm SET XLC_LOCALE=C:\usr\share\locale
REM SET XNLSPATH=C:\usr\share\locale\iso8859-1

REM Leave the / (forward slash) as it is.  It is not a typo. Cygwin needs it
to set your $HOME

SET HOME=C:/
SET HOMEDIR=C:\usr\local\dx
SET USERDIR=c:\usr\local\share
SET BitmapDir=C:\usr\local\share\bitmaps
rem cls
rem dx
dx %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

Many thanks for your patience and help.
