I've checked the docs, faq and google, but can't find an exact answer...

I have a program vic that transmits/receives video over a multicast network 
connection.  The program runs fine when I'm in cygwin, but the larger 
package I am using expects it to run in windows.  So to make the 
integration work, I'd like to find a way to run cygwin and my vic program 
then have the cygwin environment quit when I quit the vic program.  My 
first guess was;
c:cygwin\bin>cygwin vic
but I get an error: cannot execute binary file
I also tried
c:cygwin\bin>bash vic
and got the same error.

I'm hoping I've explained what I want to do clearly.  If more info is 
needed, please let me know.  I know this a roundabout way to get this done, 
but the source is not available.


Thanx,
