[GRASS-user] Windows 2000 cygwin troubles

[Jachym Cepicky]

hallo,
on windows, I use following approach:

1)  start cygwin
2) write command "startxwin.bat" end press <Return>
   The X logo should appear in the systray, new "white" x-terminal
   should appear

3) you can close the "black" cygwin window
4) grass61 in the new "white" x-terminal
