Hmm.  I was going to point you to
<http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/>, but it seems
the page is temporarily unavailable.  You can still take a look at the
Google cache version at <http://google.com/search?q=cache:www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/>
or the one in the Internet Archive at
<http://web.archive.org/web/20030219090138/http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/>,
though.
