| v2gnu/gdb416b.zip (GNU debugger)
You also need the fileutils to be able to do ls.

Nope you can set them in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash-profile :-) (Uhm where
is $HOME if you can't set it.. c:/ I believe)
Doesn't NT have someplace in the control-panel where you can set such
environment variables, and these are later used in a ms-dos window,
and from there to your bash-window??

Yep they can be found in the fileutils package if my memory isn't
totally out in the cyberspace.

Well hopefully this would solve it.
