Thanks again, René. I found the solution to the startxserver.bat
problem! Using one of your clues, I discovered that the Singular
post-install script did not update my PATH correctly. I fixed the
PATH to c:\cygwin\bin and c:\cygwin\X11R6\bin, and lo, the X
startup script worked.

Excellent. This is just what I was looking for.

Very nice. Thanks again René. I really appreciate your thoughtful
responses and the way you stuck with the problem.

Best regards,
