Hi harold,

Here is a script that will generate the startxwin.bat file. You might 
want to verify that the batch file is like the original. I had mine 
modified but hopefully I reverted all of the changes.

So this script should run as a postintall to the XFree86-startup-scripts 
package. It depends on u2d to convert the newlines so you'll have to add 
cygutils to the package dependencies.

Also, I didn't want to do to much in this script yet but you may want to 
remove the logic about NT vs 9x from the batch and move it into the 
script itself. This would make a batch file easier to read/modify for 
the newbies... right, they *are* the same now that you use "run" instead 
of "start" (or is it one of my unreverted change?)

REM The path in the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable assignment assume
REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.  You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.  For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will need 
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.
REM 
REM This batch file will almost always be run from the same drive (and
REM directory) as the drive that contains Cygwin/XFree86, therefore you will
REM not need to add a drive letter to CYGWIN_ROOT.  For example, you do
REM not need to change \cygwin to c:\cygwin if you are running this
REM batch file from the C drive.

REM Notice that the window manager and the xterm will wait for
REM the server to finish starting before trying to connect; the
REM error "Cannot Open Display: 127.0.0.1:0.0" is not due to the
REM clients attempting to connect before the server has started, rather
REM that error is due to a bug in some versions of cygwin1.dll.  Upgrade
REM to the latest cygwin1.dll if you get the "Cannot Open Display" error.
REM See the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ for more information:

REM
REM The error "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" is
REM caused by using a DOS mode mount for the mount that the Cygwin/XFree86
REM fonts are accessed through.  See the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ for more 
REM information:

REM is Windows NT/2000.  Do not use the switch in any other case.  This
REM should work fine, as it assumes we cannot use /B, except when a certain
