Thanks, downloaded it.  I will give it a try later, not tonight anymore.

Well, I thought I understood this but your remarks below now confuse me :-(.

Well, isn't -mno-cygwin just doing this?  It switches search paths for
the libraries so the mingw libraries get pulled in (from /usr/lib/mingw)
before the cygwin ones.  And some other details (e.g. -D__MINGW32__)

Why would I have to recreate parts of cygwin like your instructions
(deleted for brevity) basically say?

No problem, I am just learning...

And here the confusion is again.  *What* do I need from g77?   The gcc distribution
has everything to build g77.   What additional mingw specific things are needed?
In fact it is libg2c.a which doesn't come with the net release but most (?) of the
rest of mingw does come with the net release.  Would it be libg2c that causes my
initial problem with keyboard I/O?

Thanks again,
Michael
