OK, now I am completely confused. After bringing up the system, I tried running the cygwin batch file and it complained about not being able to find the zsh program (I run Z-shell).
So, I figured that I needed to reinstall cygwin. Hence the question I previously posted. Well, I ran the installer and it said that there was nothing to install, though it did place the shortcut on the desktop. I ran it and sure enough, now my "xterm" is up on the screen. I can run crontab and it shows me my configuration. But, there the good news ends. While attempting to modify the crontab file, it had a permission denied when trying to write my tabs/Vidiot file, just as it was expected. As previously posted, I have no idea how to change the permission of said files. I also just looked at all of the running processes and I don't see anything with cron in the process name. I can see zsh.exe, which I should :-) But I don't see cron. I don't remember how that is implemented under XP. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth.
