Hi, Matt.
I tried what you describe using NT 4, SP 3, and I got the
same output for the command line as for the script file.
My setup differs from yours, however, in that I am using
cygwin32 b19 (not 19.1) with the cygwinb19.dll from Sergey
Okhapkin's coolview (perhaps not the latest version; I
downloaded it on April 10).
I have read numerous recommendations on this list for
installing coolview over b19{,.1}, so give it a try:
