>    I am an instructor in the Electrical Engineering Dept. at the

>    Well anyways, I have this machine on hand and just installed
> Cygwin, I've done this before on a Windows 95 machine and did not

>    I did just find a problem with GDB however.  I just built the
> traditional "Hello World!" program and find that GDB is 
> having trouble.
> The Hello World program runs correctly under bash however.
