this was OK

no - it's /bin/sh.exe, which is a copy (not a link) of bash.exe [1]

yes.

yes - all drives mounted binary, but my / is F:

yes and no. All drives were mounted binary, but I untar/gzed using (no flames please) WinZip. [2]

[1] ,[2],[3] made all three changes, and it worked. Then I undid the changes one at a time. Only [2] was the real problem.
[1] and [3] were not necessary. I had forgotten to turn WinZip/Options/Smart TAR LF/CR conversion _OFF_.
Also, Andy Piper's local.tar.gz contains several older versions of Sergey's remote tools. In particular, my
/usr/local/libexec contained
from Andy's local.tar.gz:
in.ftpd* in.rlogind* in.talkd* in.tftpd*
in.rexecd* in.rshd* in.telnetd*
from Sergey's remote.tar.gz
in.ftpd.exe* in.rlogind.exe* in.talkd.exe* in.tftpd.exe*
in.rexecd.exe* in.rshd.exe* in.telnetd.exe* in.uucpd.exe*
I don't know if this was part of the problem, but I deleted the files from Andy's distribution.
