In the latest port of the ordinal calculator (www.mtnmath.com/ord) 
readline does not work. Backspace does not delete characters and the 
arrow keys do not move the cursor. The problem is reproducible with 
bash. Copy bash.exe and the dlls it uses to another directory and 
execute bash in that directory from the Microsoft command window. Doing 
so results in the same behavior in bash as I observe in my application.

If I execute the ordinal calculator either from a bash window or copy it 
to the CYGWIN bin directory it works properly but when I package it as a 
standalone application it fails. I even tried copying the entire CYGWIN 
bin directory to another location and executing from there. The problem 
still exists. I have updated CYGWIN in the last week. I did not have 
this problem on the first release of the ordinal calculator made last fall.
