Re: xfig and mwm problems ...

No, I used a combination of sites at times including:

ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin/release/
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/release
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release

I think the culprit came from

ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin/release/XFree86

I'll try what you suggested. Thank you!
