After installing Cygwin on a WIN2000 system with an existing
MKS installation, the two installations seemed to "lock horns".

I was able to establish peace by removing the MKS-related
environment variables from the system configuration (Start ->
Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment
Variables) and moving them into profile.ksh.  Specifically:

	MKS_TK_PATH_BACK
	NUTCROOT
	ROOTDIR
	SHELL
	TERM (value had been "nutc")
	TERMCAP (value had been "E:\MKS\etc\termcap")
	TERMINFO (value had been "E:\MKS\usr\lib\terminfo")

In particular, the TERM* values seemed to be causing of alot
of the problems; Cygwin likes TERM=cygwin.

I also installed the ATT ksh -- there was a thread about this
two or three weeks ago -- but understand that a KSH package
for the standard Cygwin setup is on the way.  Have also had
some small problems porting scripts, one of which being that
"egrep" must always be changed to "grep -E".
