I shall have a go at this to get the cygwin commands in the normal
window. Can I just confirm, I copy all the *.dll (starts with
cygbz2-1.dll, ends with cygz.dll) from C:\cygwin\bin to
c:\Windows\System32. I add C:\cygwin\bin to control
Panel/system/advanced/Environment variables/Path.
Thanks, that will help a lot.
This reminds me of another question I had meant to ask. Is it just me,
or is the search for a string in a file bit of windows search broken?
If I search a directory with the windows utility it does not find it,
but using cygwin with 'find -name "*.c" | xargs grep "search string"'
does find it.

I have this set allready.
What I want is to be able to copy and paste with fewer clicks, and to be
able to cat > file.txt. There are probably some other funtions I would
like, but these are the ones that get on my nerves.
