This is correct. However, the program also had a windows "C:" style path in it, and I believe it makes no sense to use both. If the Unicon had been successfully compiled under Cygwin, which I have not attempted in ages, then the /cygdrive/c paths should work, but not the windows style ones. And vice versa. > thingy.

I think it would be more fruitful to aim for successful builds of Unicon under the various Unix emulation layers. I may not be seeing the whole picture, though.
