I don't have a really good idea of how Cygwin and Windows are both supposed to be able to handle .LNKs to e.g. G++, but a dump of g++.exe.lnk shows strings for /etc/alternatives and L:\cygwin\etc\alternatives. So yes, I don't know if Windows is supposed to be able follow that, but as I said in my original post, I'm almost certain that I was able to invoke it from a CMD window. The reason that I tried that at the time was because I was using a set of pages that appeared to give me good idea of how an installation should go - remember, I don't speak unix/linux at all - and it was illustrated there. The link to installing GCC that I was looking at is http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/moac/currentstudents/peter_cock/cygwin/part2/ That was directed specifically to XP, but it was a good enough beginners guide for Win2k. I'm sure that I can come up with a hack that will let me do what I want, but I wouldn't have thought it would be necessary.
