Daniel:
Any time U run Cygwin programs, U need to make sure that the PATH var-
iable includes Cygwin directories. The best way to do that is to
launch Cygwin executables from another Cygwin executable that has set
up the PATH so that U don't have to. Take a look at /cygwin.bat,
which is often the first Cygwin program on a system to be invoked, for
an example. It invokes bash.exe, which sources /etc/profile, which is
where /usr/local/bin/, /usr/bin/, et.al., are prepended to the Windows
PATH. All Cygwin executables launched from this login shell will in-
herit any exported ENVIRONMENT variables, include $PATH and $LINE
(%LINE% from Windows).
Were I in your position, I would make a copy of /cygwin.bat that looks
something like this:
<code>
@echo off
C:
chdir c:\path\to\your\cygwin\bin
bash -c "cd /cygdrive/c/Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen/test/Eigene\
Dateien/tload;tload -l %LINE% %1%"
</code>
The above .BAT file is a good starting point.
