The reason you're getting that error is quite clear: It's a
"bad command or file name", which is caused by cscope not
finding a program it's looking for.  In the case of cscope
-b -q, I think that'd be "sort" it's looking for.

I'm a bit at a loss how you could have managed not to have
any ''sort.exe" in the PATH of your Windows 2K box, though
--- normally, this error would manifest as the Windows
version of 'sort' complaining about options it doesn't
understand, because you didn't have a Unix-style "sort"
(like a port of GNU sort)  on the PATH.

A side note: You're running the DJGPP version of cscope,
which is a DOS program.  While that still works on Windows
2K and XP, those platforms are somewhat hostile to DOS
programs.  You'ld do better with a more native Win32
version, e.g. one built by cygwin or MinGW compilers.
