How to Bash? Help, Cygwin (SOLVED)

Stinking Cygwin. Did the regular (smaller) 'net install of Cygwin. I have a program (rarcrack, Win32 ver., fails hardcore in Windows command line) that I need (well, actually just "want," but it would be good certainly) to run in it. Infos:

-I have successfully changed directory to the executable's location (i.e. /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/.../rarcrack-0.2/)
-I believe I have input the string correctly, which would be like so:
$ rarcrack FILE.EXT --type TYPE

And yet it's kicking out "command not found" - what...da fuck...DID I DO RONG?! /arnold

Maybe ./rarcrack ? By default bash won't look in the current directory for executables, but giving it the path will run it.

That done it!

I actually ran across that tip earlier, but apparently doing two things at once is too much for my brain to process (then again, anybody who has looked at my hiscores can confirm this

).

Edit: lol this is super slow though. I'll have to play around with the number of threads or sumfin'.

If you don't want to have to type the ./ part, add the folder with the program to your path enviroment variable [in Bash].
