[esp-r] Re: 11.2: Precompiled Cygwin simulator checks

[Jon Hand (clcv10)]

A user had an issue with the version 11.2 precompiled cygwin version
and here is a general discussion about how to check such an  
installation.

This 11.2 precompiled installer has been tested on several dozen
computers (XP and W2K) without issue.  If the distribution does not  
run then
there are several things to try:

a) within the cygwin environment issue a  'which prj' command
     you should get the folder /usr/esru/esp-r/bin and or
    /home/esru/esp-r/bin

b) the size of the executable is 7332352 and an ls -l should
     indicate the following permissons -rwxr-xr-x

c) if you issue the comand file /usr/esru/esp-r/bin/prj.exe
    you should get PE executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386  
32-bit

If some or all of these tests fail then there might have been an issue
with the *.run installer that you downloaded.  Note the *.run file on
the university web/ftp server is a binary file which should be  
downloaded
as a binary rather than a text file.
