[Radiance-general] Radiance on Cygwin: Starting problems

[Kirk Thibault]

I'm not sure if this applies to Windows, but is your DISPLAY  
environment variable set to launch X11 when you invoke rvu?  I'm way  
out of my league here, but I know that if I try running rvu from my  
Mac OSX Terminal app without the DISPLAY variable set, no dice.  If I  
run rvu from my X11 app, it works - I assume it is because in X11,  
the default display is X window.

Again, I ain't no Windows person, so I'm shooting from the hip here.
