I hope this is the right place for this question.  I read all for the 
documentation on how and where to ask questions, but nothing actually gave 
an address.

1. I am running Windows XP - SP2
2. I installed cygwin from the Los Alamos site.
3. I received the Installation Complete message box.
4. I clicked on the Icon but cygwin did not come up.
5. I read the "Cygwin/X User's Guide, page 17 Chapter 4.
    In c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin there was NO file by the name startxwin.bat.
    I did find a file named 'run'.
6. I clicked on the file 'run' and received the following error on the 
screen.
       "This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not 
found.
         Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
7. I found cygwin1.dll in c:\cygwin\bin.  Where was run looking for this?
8. I re-installed two times, again from LANL and then from Texas Univ. with 
the same results.


A. Should I have a startxwin.bat file and where should it be?
B. Where does startxwin.bat look for cygwin1.dll ?

I install this on two Windows NT laptops with no problems.

On my laptop, startxwin is a bat file, on the desktop, run is an exe file???

Any ideas?
