Christine,

Your solution only works if Dominique hasn't used anything from the UNIX layer
such as the fork function.  Dominique's scenario should work perfectly. 
However, there may be subtle differences in the environments of the machines.

Dominique,

Make sure that there is a /tmp directory.  Set the CYGWIN environment variable
with appropriate values.  Make sure that the cygwin1.dll is on the PATH
especially if the program is forking a process.

Question: Are the two NT stations identical in device and os level?  It has
been noted that sp4 gives people headaches.
