  Well, bash hasn't changed since yesterday, so it's pretty hard to think of any
other cause than that you did, in fact, mess up somehow when you moved stuff
around.  The problem with claiming something generic like 

> so what I type into the cygwin console is
> 
> /path to the program/programname<filename

is that none of us know if that's actually what you did, or if you typo'd it, or
anything else like that, so if one of your assumptions is wrong, nobody can
double-check it for you.

  That's why you should have shown us actual cut-and-pasted output from your
shell window, showing you trying to execute the program, and showing you running
"ls -l" on the same path.  Please show us that, and we'll be able to take a look
at the perms at the same time as double-checking that the file is actually where
it's supposed to be. 




    cheers,
