The test problem (which you see when you invoke the cygwin bash, which is 
what happens
when you dlick on the "terminal" icon in the swarm-2.1.1 binary program 
group) arises
because you have a space in the directory name "...\Documents and Settings". 
(This took
me a little while to figure out, and I was misled thinking it was a binary 
vs. test-mode mount
problem at first.)

I don't think I found any fix except to move the stuff to a directory 
without spaces; which
is anyway likely the best idea. But, possibly amending the path, at least 
under cygnus, to
say, eg "\Documents\ and\ Settings" where it says "Documents and Settings" 
will do the
trick. But, I think that simply moving everything to a path with no spaces 
is probably easier
than monkeying with this kind of backslash protection.

However, I have actually never been able to get swarm working at all, and 
got depressed
about it and haven't tried for quite some time. I think the last result I 
got, was
having 2.1.1 binary installed (on MS-Windows), and I could compile heatbugs, 
but
when the heatbugs.exe was run, it resulted in a GPF.

Cordially,

Perry
