Glynn,

It is great news that you have GRASS 5.3 compiling successfully for 
Cygwin. I have several questions.

1. In the list of Cygwin components you list has having installed (in 
section of copied message below) are opengl and sunrpc. Are these only 
necessary for compiling Cygwin or are they also needed for the 
binaries? I ask because there is an old version of sunrpc on the 
WinGRASS web page, but the binaries installation instructions ignore it.

2. Can GRASS 5.3 open monitors via the tcltk menu or is it still 
necessary to do this from the command line using d.mon?

3. If GRASS 5.3 works with tcltk 8.3.4, does that mean that it works 
with the Cygwin version of tcltk or is it still necessary to install a 
separate version?

Thanks for your time and help.

Michael
