 Thanks, downloading now. I'll give it a shot in my cygwin environment and
see if I can't get it working.

Well Mark, I think that I have all the dll's required all put in the same
directory, if this doesnt work then give compiling a shot...

Set your environment variable to DISPLAY = localhost:0 Also edit mysql.txt

i uploaded to here http://clue.eng.iastate.edu/~superm1/bin.zip

I'm not sure how long I will keep that up, as that is my filespace directory
at school, but it should be up for at least a week or two
