I'm intrigued by the change in poster name from AndreasSander1 () gmx net to
Helge.Kruse-nospam () gmx net  but will assume it's the same issue we're
following here.

Guy's comments about the Cygwin mt package were aimed at the usefulness of
providing a mag tape handler for a *nix emulator for Windows.

OK, the path indicates that the mt.exe being used is from the SDK (v6.0A)
supplied with VS2008.  I noticed an earlier email mentioned using
"vcvarsall.bat x86" to set the build environment, rather than the Developers
Guide recommended ...\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat.  The call you made should be
equivalent, but who knows, maybe try that.
