It's possible, since cygwin 1.5.13 or so (for example, '/bin/nice
/bin/nice' outputs 10, since the first nice defaults the second to +10,
and the second displays its current nice value with no argument). In
tcsh, nice is a shell builtin, which defaults to +4 instead of +10, but my
testing shows that it works. It looks like top is not displaying nice
values properly.
By the way, following these directions,

and including 'cygcheck -svr' output as a text attachment, would have let
us know if you need to upgrade your installation.
