I just created the directory and unzipped into there.  Showed up a
couple of glitches in my published work :-).  How do we "mount in
text mode"?

BTW attacking this has shown up a couple of Cygwin glitches.  bash
won't run a MSDOS .com file, even though it is in the path. 
Piping doesn't work to DOS utilities.  Also stdin redirection to
DOS utilities doesn't work - maybe the same bug.  These utilities
detect that stdin is NOT the console, and act accordingly.
