I standby my statement that http://pcb.sourceforge.net/ , the one linked
from the PCB home page, never mentions Windows.  I know it is mentioned in the 
FAQ.  Windows people are not the type that read FAQ's when looking for 
something.   They are going to come to http://pcb.sourceforge.net/ , and
say "what the #$)*_#$ is X11?" and move on.

I'm sure there are few on this list that actually like Windows, but for the 
moment it a reality of doing business.

I had no problems with PCB on Cygwin that I did not have on Linux.
