I've never tried to get it running on Cygwin, actually.  I primarily
live on Linux.  My current Windows machine is too slow for doing real
work.

I don't even know what I had installed on my system when it used to
work.  The Red Hat RPM virus seems to have done a good job of removing
all traces of my previous installation.  Possibly just installing the
tools at sources.redhat.com is all that is required but I am reluctant
to do that and find that I've impacted some other package on my system.

I did manage to get something almost working when I installed this:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ASP//i386/RPMS.rcf/stylesheets-1.54.13rh-6.asp.noarch.html

but that gave me errors about '-I' being an invalid option.

Possibly DJ knows the magic incantation necessary to get this working
on recent versions of Red Hat linux.
