ncl cygwin/x problem and cure

Weird shell response to ncl:

I am trying to implement the NCL test examples on a windows XP machine.

For some reason the directory structure is not being scanned correctly.

Here is the symptoms:

After installing everything and setting the PATH as suggested:
typing ncl at prompt does not find the ncl.exe

but
./usr/local/bin/ncl does work, but $NCARG_ROOT=/usr/local does
not find the initialization files.

Changing NCARG_ROOT=./usr/local (notice the .) makes the program run and find the
initial files.

Cure:

export NCARG_ROOT=./usr/local
./usr/local/bin/ncl

This is probably not a problem with ncl, but something to do with the
cygwin/X installation.

I am sending this into the ncl-talk group in case someone else
has the problem in the future.
