Program can not be run in DOS mode

Thu Jan 25 02:03:00 GMT 2001

Hi Bob,
what gave you the impression, the Cygwin bash is a DOS application? The
Cygwin bash uses the API and services of Windows, it is not a *replacement*
to the command.com, but just another alternative shell for Windows. You will
not succeed. No way.
Greetings,
Jorg
