<answer>
<para>The versions of Tcl/Tk distributed with Cygwin (e.g. cygtclsh80.exe,
cygwish80.exe) are not actually "Cygwin versions" of those tools.
They are built as native libraries, which means they do not understand
Cygwin mounts or symbolic links.

<para>See the entry "How do I convert between Windows and UNIX paths?"
elsewhere in this FAQ.
<para>Previous versions of Tcl/Tk distributed with Cygwin (e.g. tclsh84.exe,
wish84.exe) were not actually "Cygwin versions" of those tools.
They were built as native libraries, which means they did not understand
Cygwin mounts or symbolic links. This lead to all sorts of problems interacting
with true Cygwin programs.</para>
<para>As of February 2012, this was replaced with a version of Tcl/Tk which
uses Cygwin's POSIX APIs and X11 for GUI functionality. If you get a message
