Why is anything needed? I find I can create multiple Cygwin
screens by simply switching to the MSDOS/4DOS window, and
launching another. I use a 4dos alias that executes "start
c:\cygwin\cygwin.pif". The pif executes "%comspec% /c
c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat". This is on W98. Same end result from
clicking on things in the start menu or on the desktop.
