I haven't noticed any of that. Once I deleted C:\cygwin\home\AL\cygwin1.dll
I am now able to compile and run programs.

I am not sure what all I need. My professor just said go to the site and
download Cygwin and use the default settings and that is what I did. I will
do some research and find out how to install the current versions of the
suggested compilers. One final question should I now be using the Cygwin
Terminal instead of Cygwin.bat shortcut?

Thanks again for your help and advice. I really appreciate it. 

Thanks,
Alecia
