no - it's /bin/sh.exe, which is a copy (not a link) of bash.exe [1]

yes.

yes - all drives mounted binary, but my / is F:

yes and no. All drives were mounted binary, but I untar/gzed using (no flames please) WinZip. [2]

[1] ,[2],[3] made all three changes, and it worked. Then I undid the changes one at a time. Only [2] was the real problem.
[1] and [3] were not necessary. I had forgotten to turn WinZip/Options/Smart TAR LF/CR conversion _OFF_.

Also, Andy Piper's local.tar.gz contains several older versions of Sergey's remote tools. In particular, my
/usr/local/libexec contained

from Andy's local.tar.gz:

in.ftpd*     in.rlogind*  in.talkd*    in.tftpd*
in.rexecd*   in.rshd*     in.telnetd*

from Sergey's remote.tar.gz

in.ftpd.exe*     in.rlogind.exe*  in.talkd.exe*    in.tftpd.exe*
in.rexecd.exe*   in.rshd.exe*     in.telnetd.exe*  in.uucpd.exe*

I don't know if this was part of the problem, but I deleted the files from Andy's distribution.
