Then you probably want the cygwin tarball, as having two cygwin1.dll in 
different places is often the root cause of a lot of problems (DLL hell, it 
works when both versions are identical).

Those would be interesting.

That installer wants to replace the preprogrammed path with the actual path.  
If that fails, you can't use Gforth.

The path content looks somewhat inconsistent, maybe there's a mixup between 
old and new files, and that causes the failure... I'll check that.

It assumes that the just installed .exe files are writeable.  Perhaps you 
capture the error messages.

A *.sig is a PGP (GnuPG) signature, and a *.s2o is a net2o signature.
