RE: postgresql on win2000 - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

cat should be in /bin (/usr/bin as one is linked to the other via a mount).
Make sure your path points to here. (eg: In Win 9x make a line if I remember
correctly PATH=c:\cygwin\bin;%PATH% ) Have a look at the cygwin site to see
what advice about paths they give (as well as the postgresql README).
