Singular

I get the error from singular:

> surfer (f);
Close window to exit from `surfer`.
0
? calling `surfer` failed
(The shell returned the error code 26880.
? leaving surf.lib::surfer

I have installed cygwin, singular and surf, included surf.lib and updated PATH

> system("getenv","PATH");

What is missing?

Thanks for help

One possibility would be that you do not have the correct version of surfer
(you need a C based one, not a java based one,
for example https://imaginary.org/de/node/65
because the java based surfer ignores all command line arguments)
Another possibility would be that the cygwin shell does not recognize
surfer as a command (can you start surfer from a cygwin terminal
by typing ?)
