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.
