Hi Ben,

Unfortunately I don't have easy access to an XP machine, so I can't try to 
duplicate your problem in the near future. In view of Jay's idea about 
symbolic links, please try these commands from Cygwin, at least one of 
which presumably fails. The "%" represents the prompt.

1. (a) Create a symbolic link.

  % ln -s sphere.xp sphere.cc

  (b) If (a) fails, make a copy with recognizable extension.

  % cp sphere.xp sphere.cc

2. Compile and link.

  % /usr/bin/g++ sphere.cc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib/epix -lm -lepix

Does either command work, and if not, what errors do you get?

Best,
Andy
