Hello,

does anyone have a working installation of Texmacs under Cygwin/Windows 7? 
I've been trying the last hours to get it running:

- The Cygtexmacs.zip package results in

startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

when I try to run starttexmacs.bat.

- I installed the current stable version Cygwin 1.5 and Texmacs as a 
package. Then cygwin.bat and

----

Now Texmacs runs, but I cannot open any files on /cygdrive. I can see the 
base directories in /cygdrive; some of the directories behave normally but 
in most of them the box on the left side of the "open file" dialog is 
completely empty (not even ".."). Sometimes I get these:

As one would suspect, Texmacs does not show any files or subdirectories in 
/cygdrive/c; in /cygdrive/d it does show some folders.

- Cygwin 1.7 beta shows the same behavior. Additionally I got some 
"--output-dir switch not supported" messages (I don't remember the exact 
wording) during the first run which I couldn't reproduce afterwards.

This kind of frightens me, as I use Texmacs for all my daily work, and just 
upgraded to Windows 7. Is there anyone with a working installation?

Best Regards,
  Jan
