I am installing cygwin in order to run a software package for data 
visualization.  The instructions I have are to download defaut cygwin and to 
edit the following file:

C:\cygwin\home\<user_name>\.bash_profile

The trouble is there in no such file and no cygwin\home directory after 
installation.  I am working on a lab computer which I share with other users.

I tried installing the default cygwin on my home PC and the directory is 
there.

On my work PC I have:
C:\cygwin
bin
etc
lib
tmp
usr 
var
cygwin.bat
cygwin.ico

On my personal machine I have that list and also C:\cygwin\home

If anyone can suggest why my lab PC installs differently it would be 
appreciated.
thanks, 
Karl.
