[winGRASS] Installing grass5.7 on XP

[Phil Hodge]

A real newbie here.... trying to get started for the first time on Grass so I can play with shape files.. am trying to install Grass 5.7 using "Installing Grass 5.7 on Win32 with Cygwin" instructions (dated 2004/03/29) onto Windows XP.
 
I did the "Cygwin installation" including selected packages via Cygwin mirror site and 
downloaded   xtclk-8.3.4-CYGWIN.tar.gz
Tried to enter the following into the cygwin shell window as per instructions but nothing happens except the following error message....
 
bash-2.05b$ tar xvfz xtcltk-8.3.4-CYGWIN.tar.gz
bash: tar: command not found
 
Something simple is wrong but cant figure it out.  Have checked that I have tar.exe in /bin folder Ok.
 
Any clues as to what I have missed? or is it a grass5.7 thing.
 
Phil
