Mine is swfote11fuss.tgz, are you sure it's just not hiding the extension?

"big text screen"? That would be what you're looking for. That's the Cygwin prompt.

What? Why do you want it executable? It's a compressed archive. Extract it.

I don't know about the tmp thing...

You run the startup after everything is compiled.

Don't do anything outside of Cygwin. It doesn't matter if it has an extension or not. It's a script. The guide is the best way to start out.
