Hello everyone,
  I tried installing Cygwin/Xfree86 and got the following error when runing
startxwin.bat.:
First I get a message box saying "A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not
found". Then the DOS window says:
too many parameters
startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows 95/98/Me
Cannot find file 'XWin' (or one of its components). Check to
ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required
libraries are available.
Cannot find file 'xterm' (or one of its components). Check to
ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required
libraries are available.
Cannot find file 'twm' (or one of its components). Check to
ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required
libraries are available.

I do have these files however:
cygwin1.dll   in c:\cygwin\bin
twm.exe    C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
xterm.exe  in  C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
XWin in  C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
startxwin.bat in C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin

Are any of these files misplaced?
Thanks in advance,
Rabiyah.
