Eli and Martin,

Shell was the problem.  I had downloaded it but forgot to unzip it and add
SHELL to the env settings. Thanks for the pointers.

The reason I mention cygwin is that I am looking at repeating what Rossz
Vamos-Wentworth has done with using DJGPP as the build environment for
legOS, the open source LEGO MindStorm OS. I have been using cygwin as my
development environment along with the majority of the legOS windows user
community.  But recently there has been questions about the difficulty of
the environment for non-Unix individuals. This DJGPP "port" for legOS was
old and I mentioned I would investigate an upgrade.  I know Eli is familiar
with this effort as he is acknowledge as helping Rossz with his work. At
this point I have just been "playing around" and trying to get the utility
tools to build under DJGPP.  I have not tackled the "hard problem" of
creating the cross compiler.  For this I was going to follow the script
written by Christopher Bahns and modified by Paolo Masetti, a major legOS
windows developer http://legos.sourceforge.net/cygwin/INSTALL-cygwin.html.
