Hello,

I'd like to call an external tool from within Mathematica under Win98. This external
tool is compiled under cygwin and needs cygwin1.dll.
The command I tried to launch: !"tool.exe"
Mathematica starts a shell, I think it is a DOS-Shell. It disappears immeatedly, and Mathematica
complains about not finding cygwin1.dll.

I tried to specified the path by appending it
1) to Mathematica's $Path-Variable;
2) to the %PATH% Environment-Variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT for DOS which I think
should be the right place;
(3) in the cygwin-$Path-Environment it was already defined.

Any hints are welcome!

Thank you very much in advance.

With best wishes,

Claudius
