Hi John,

I followed the instructions given in the link you mentioned above. After
launching ash.exe in a cmd-window, I tried to run rebaseall and
peflagsall. What I get is disappointing:

$ /bin/rebaseall
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/CORE/cygperl5_14_2.dll:
skipped because nonexistent.
$ /bin/peflagsall
/usr/bin/ash.exe: skipped because could not open
/usr/bin/dash.exe: skipped because could not open
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/CORE/cygperl5_14_2.dll:
skipped because nonexistent
$

I then installed everthing on cygwin that included perl in its name -
same result. Do you have any further advice on how to make it work?
Thanks and best regards - Bob

Additinal note:
Following the above disappointing experience, I run configtool again and 
surprise - it worked. I tried it a 2nd time - it did the job. Either the 
error I had was a rare event or the above procedure did something 
useful. I do not know.
