> Hello everyone,

> I've just upgraded from Cygwin (it had bash v 2.02.1, I think it was b20,

and

> /usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec grotty: No such file or directory
> (END)

> Yet I can run these two commands straight from the shell!

The TEMP variable should be a *nix path such as /temp or even
/cygdrive/d/temp.

Some *unix programs also use the TMP variable (again in Unix format.)
