        Rick,

        many thanks for your suggestions, useful to thing.

1. chmod does not modify permissions;

2. is not possible, in the Cygnus/w32 environment, to log as a specific
user (root or other):

3. another attempt changing the extension of configure:

BASH.EXE-2.01$ cp configure configure.bat
BASH.EXE-2.01$ ls configure* -l
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone   105913 Jun 25 10:25 configure
-rwxr-xr-x   1 500      everyone   105913 Jun 30 15:13 configure.bat
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone     4132 Jun 25 08:12 configure.in

seems to work, but

BASH.EXE-2.01$ configure.bat

gives

BASH.EXE: ./configure.bat: No such file or directory
