I tried, both in the window that popped up when I clicked on Swarm and 
also in the DOS window.
Apparently, it doesn't recognize both umount and mount commands.  
Actually, it doesn't recognize a lot of commands, including "ls" and 
"dir".  

I finally opened the Bash window from Cygnus/.../bin directory and ran 
"make -C \\d\swarm\swarm-1.1".  Something happened, with a bunch of 
errors.  One of the errors was that it cannot find /opt/gnu/bin/gcc.  
Well, the only gcc that I can find on my machine is in Cygnus/.../bin 
directory.  So my theory is that Swarm doesn't know that the executable 
files that it needs are in Cygnus/.../bin directory.  How do I tell it 
where the things are?  (Is there a path that I can set or something?)

Another question: I finally succeeded in installing emacs on Windows 95 
(Praise God!!)  But I need to run it from the Emacs directory.  Is there 
a way that I can setup such that I can run emacs from Swarm's 
directories?  (currently, I paste a shortcut in Swarm-1.1 directory, but 
I don't want to do that for every directory.)

Thanks a LOT!!
