This may be repetitious, but I can perhaps write more clearly than I did
late last night.  On my Windows 98 box with a cygwin installation from May
2001, I can make subdirectory "zip" and still access zip from the parent
directory.  On my Windows XP Pro box with an installation from a couple of
months ago, when I do the same thing I get the message "command not found".

If the difference is due to a change in Windows, c'est la vie, it is no big
deal to work around.  If the difference is due to a change in cygwin, it
seems to be a step backward (i.e. to a less faithful unix emulation).
