Thanks Dave,
I don't want to hijack this thread but I will explain further and then we can 
take to a new thread if we want.  What I meant was I changed back to a 
non-debug released version of the dll and Insight started working again. With 
my debug version of Cygwin1.dll running Insight would get a Tcl/TK error 
looking for the init file.  Changing back to the released non debug version 
fixed it.  Yes - no duplicate dll's and the Service for Openssh (only Cygwin 
service I think I have running) had been started and restarted many times 
since I noticed this and the system rebooted quite few times.  Hadn't thought 
much of it (was using gdb) until I double checked on a second system (same 
packages installed) and Insight worked there - then I knew something was up 
and remembered I was running a debug version and swapped back as fluke.

Thanks again
