I would say put it in /grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_xserver/
I also remember that Glynn said it was working on Windows 98. The GRASS
windows instructions say however that you must install it on an NTFS
filing system so that means NT or 2000 or newer will be what most people
tried it on. Actually I use it on a FAT32 partition---there are no major
problems but might be obscure ones.
