    I am having some problems getting GENESIS to run. I am trying to run it on
    Windows XP with cygwin. I get this error message when trying to run the
    purkinje tutorial:  "Exceeded the maximum number of errors (10)". I am at a
    real loss what to do. Please find below the cygwin commands that I have
    tried to get it working. Where am I going wrong? I would be so grateful for
    any insight. Of course, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require
    any further information about my attempts. I hope that this reaches you
    well.

    startxwin.bat
    cd genesis-2.3/genesis
    ./nxgenesis.exe
    (nxGenesis starts ok. now writing in nxgenesis)
    cd scripts
    cd purkinje
    TUTORIAL
    Get this message: Exceeded the maximum number of errors (10)

    OR

    startxwin.bat
    cd genesis-2.3/genesis
    ./nxgenesis.exe
    (now in nxgenesis)
    cd purkinje_tutorial               (I have the purkinje_tutorial from the De
    Schutter website)
    TUTORIAL
    Get this message: Exceeded the maximum number of errors (10)

    OR

    cd genesis-2.3/genesis
    ./binsetup
    cp .simrc ~
    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/genesis-2.3/genesis
    ./genesis.exe
    (now in genesis)
    cd scripts
    cd purkinje
    TUTORIAL
    Get this message: Exceeded the maximum number of errors (10)

      Make sure Genesis is started from an xterm window. An xterm window should appear on the desktop after startxwin.bat is run. If not, try starting xwindows from a cygwin bash shell (should be available on the  Windows Start menu) by running startxwin.sh (NOT startxwin.bat).

      The version of the purkinje tutorial distributed with Genesis-2.3 should be started by:

      shell prompt> genesis TUTORIAL.g
      or
      genesis prompt> TUTORIAL

      Older versions of the tutorial must be started by:
      shell prompt> ./TUTORIAL

      This is a shell script which starts genesis after doing some set up.
