Make sure you did the ftp in binary mode.

Consult the FAQ:

       http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/faq_toc.html

in particular the section "Release Notes for beta 18".

See the X11R6.3 URL above.

bash.exe is the executable for the bash shell; there are many others
execuatbles such as gcc.exe, cp.exe, ls.exe to name a few. You need 
to read the available documentation. Start from

       http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/

  Good Luck,
