RE: Program can not be run in DOS mode

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
