Cygwin on Win 2000

[Michael A Chase]

To run the Cygwin programs from an MSDOS prompt, you probably need to add
the Cygwin /bin directory (normally c:\cygwin\bin) to %PATH%.  I normally
put it at the end so MSDOS programs (e.g. find) don't get overridden by
Cygwin at the MSDOS prompt.  Setup.exe doesn't alter you path settings, so
you need to do it yourself.

I find it much nicer to work from a real shell like bash.
