[Xastir] Xastir up and running!

[William McKeehan]

I start xastir on Cygwin via a shortcut to a bat file that I have placed in
the cygwin tree:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxastir.bat

The bat file is a modified version of startxwin.bat.

I copied the startxwin.bat and replaced the line:
run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash
 -l

With this:
 run /usr/local/bin/xastir

Hope this helps.
