latex crash
Hello! I've recently found that latex has begun crashing if I execute it from a windows xp (or 2000) cmd prompt. It happens by simply typing latex at a cmd prompt. I get (in a windows error box) 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe - latex The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:06cc IP:210f OP:63 69 66 69 65 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. this doesn't happen if I expecute it from a bash prompt. Even more strangely, if I go to a command prompt and into c:\cygwin\bin and type dir latex.exe it seems unable to see the file (although it is visable in windows explorer) I can reproduce this on both computers I have (independantly) installed cygwin on.
