thanks.
fwiw, I had a look at the zip and am a bit perplexed by the size of
executable. until I read your "drat!" follow-up (:-)) I'd thought that
nocomment.exe had not been compiled for dynamic linking; 164K vs 15K on
my machine, nearly 11 times larger.
I think cygwin has strip(1) installed, you can run
$ strip -s nocomment.exe
without impairing functionality, and hopefully the respective sizes will
compare better. (compiling w/out optimisation options too would leave
it larger)
regards, jr.

It was about time I learned the very basics. :-)
How I would run it, at first. (I've not tried to make it fail.)
Create a directory. Copy cygwin1.dll, nocomment.exe and my_file.pov there.
Open cmd.exe at the directory (In the LH panel of your browser, Shift +
right click and "Open Command window here. At least in Win7) That opens
a DOS command window.
Type nocomment my_file.pov then enter.
The program created nc_my_file.pov
I've not really tested it other than running one Pov file through it and
that probably did not have any /* ... */ comments.

Windows 10 users might also be able to resort to the "Windows subsystem
for Linux"; from what I've heard, as of the Fall Creators Update it's an
official part of the system. (Prior to that it was an optional
beta-stage component that required separate installation.)
The subsystem is effectively an Ubuntu system, and is confirmed ok for
compiling and running POV-Ray, so it should be good enough for
"nocomment" as well.

does it have flex(1) installed?

I don't get anything for "man flex", so apparently it's not installed,
but "apt list flex" lists "flex/xenial 2.6.0-11 amd64", so apparently
it's available.

given that you're a quote Windows Jockey with said subsystem in place +
working, it'd be nice if you could verify that 'nocomment' will indeed
build, since Stephen has already demonstrated that the cygwin route does
work.
