Ronald said that "-lm" is not necessary with mingw, even when <math.h>
is needed.  I tried this, and my code indeed runs the same without
including "-lm".

However, I am seeing a strange (to me) problem using -mno-cygwin.  I have
put two short files, ASA_DLL.tar.gz and CYGWIN_DLL.tar.gz, in my archive.
(Postings over 100K are rejected, and it seems that after mime encoding
I surpass that limit.)  The full link must be specified:
www.ingber.com/private/ASA_DLL.tar.gz
www.ingber.com/private/CYGWIN_DLL.tar.gz

You can test this yourself in ASA_DLL and CYGWIN_DLL
./0run

Then delete the output files:
Under CYGWIN_DLL
rm testPrint
Under ASA_DLL
rm *out

Bring up Excel
click on an empty cell
Insert->Object->Create From File->Browse
click on the .exe file, run_main.exe

Then click on the new icon of run_main.exe in the cell, follow the prompts
to Open.

Now, under CYGWIN_DLL everything works fine, and the new testPrint file
has the correct output.

Under ASA_DLL, a complaint still is made that it cannot find
cygwin1.dll?  If you start over again with a new Excel, and just copy
/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll into the same ASA_DLL directory (not into any
system folder, etc.), everything works just fine, e.g., the correct
asa_out and asa_usr_out files are created.  If this kludge works, i.e.,
just copying cygwin1.dll into the same directory, that's OK, but I'd
like to find out why this is necessary at all.
