[ncl-install] Problem unzipping/untarring NCL setup file

Daniel . . .

Thanks again. Here's what I did and what I got:
                                                        

Book at Book-Enigmatics ~
$ cd /usr/local  
                                                                 
Book at Book-Enigmatics /usr/local
$ tar xvf 
~/cygwin/home/Book at Enigmatics-Book/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.
tar
tar: 
/home/Book/cygwin/home/Book at Enigmatics-Book/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WO

$ tar xvf ~/cygwin/home/Book/ncl_ncarg-6.1.0.CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64_i686.tar

Here's what I did and what I got:

$cd 

Book at Book-Enigmatics ~
$ pwd
/home/Book

Book at Book-Enigmatics ~

So the directory is named "Book," but the prompt says "Book at Book-Enigmatics 
~" What does this mean?

It sounds like you need to sort out just what your home directory looks 
like
within cygwin. If you just do a "cd" with no arguments, you should be 
taken
to your home directory. If you then do a "pwd", the path to your home 
directory
should be echoed.
