John,

Yes. Thank you. The package is not yet fully functional under Cygwin.
Most programs will run (you need to launch the cygwin services for message 
queues
to run the command line interfaces). There are a few instances where lesstif is 
not fully
compatible with openmotif for some GUI instances of using menus for
buttons the last time I tried (0.94).
