I just received the source CD and installed the B20 full.exe on my
Win98 at home.  Very nice.

Edit the autoexec.bat file and obey the Microsoft rules for collapsing
the "longer than eight character" names to eight character names.
In your case, add the following line to the autoexec.bat file.

set PATH=X:\src\Cygnus\cygwin~1\H-i586~1\bin;%PATH%
