Problem reports:
when I call 'man grep' in Cygwin 1.7.1 and try to search the pattern

This behaviour only occurs with Cygwin and only on a certain computer.
It works well with Cygwin on another computer.

Execute

cygrunsrv --stop sshd
to stop all the running services, and
start setup.exe from the Windows "run" box and reinstall cygwin.
If you get that popup again, find whatever's runnin

Rather than putting putting it in a directory, it's better to let
the crontab command do it. Put those two lines
just `yourscript`. AFAIK there's nothing that

True, but you can combine a script and an alias to give you the
effect.
Maybe put runRWS.sh in ~/bin/ and then add this alias to
~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc:
alias runRWS=&quo
Not sure about .LIB and DLL, but to compile an executable that
will run without cygwin1.dll, use this switch: -mno-cygwin
