Hello!
That did work. Thank you Larry. I owe you something or other over
coffee and pastry at someplace other then Starbucks the next time your
visiting the City. Or a meal at two of the best delis in the City.

I freely confess I haven't worked with Cygwin since the Windows98SE
time frame so this capability is a big thing.

Now I just need to enable the services I'll need from there.
