jgraph with cygwin and Windows XP

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Torsten,

Please use the Cygwin mailing list (<cygwin at cygwin dot com>) to report
Cygwin problems.  Not only do you get access to more expertise than any
one person can provide, but your questions and the answers to them get
archived on the web for others to see.  For your convenience, I've
directed this reply to the main Cygwin list, and set the Reply-To
accordingly.  More below.

This looks like a textmode/binmode issue.  The jgraph binary is compiled
the same way as on Unix, so it's possible that using the CRLF line endings
in the .jgr file will confuse it (it'll think that the CR is part of teh
token).  Try running dos2unix on the .jgr file and see if it helps.

HTH,
