Some path handling changed in Cygwin a couple of months ago that caused
problems for the tcl code in insight.  They caused insight to be unable
to find some of the startup files that it needs.

The problems have been rectified in the insight CVS sources and in the
insight snapshots.  Your best bet is to use those rather than the official
5.0 release.

I don't believe that the 5.0 release works well on W2K either, if that is
an issue.  The snapshots and CVS sources should work fine.
